“Hunting with infant children in America (1870)😒
Until the year 1919, alligator hunters in the United States used African-American infants as bait to hunt alligators. This method was very common in the state of Florida, where alligators are abundant.
In 1923, The Times newspaper was the first to expose this horrific method of alligator hunting, which at that time had become almost a folkloric tradition practiced by white hunters in the states of Florida and Texas since 1870, before it was criminalized by the U.S. Congress and state authorities in 1924.” ✦━───━✦
