This truly is a horrible situation and I must take this opportunity to remind those folks that visit the gator at Lake Sumter Landing to "please!" not feed this creature!!!
Not only is it against the law, it promotes a false sense, that allows this gator to become humanized and they will approach humans because they associate them with food and being fed! If you would take the time to read the Florida Wildlife Statures, it is actually illegal to feed any wildlife in the the state of Florida! These creatures have managed to survive for many, many 100's years without our assistance! They will continue to do so! Admire, leave them in Peace!!
