Default Feeding the alligators!! What is wrong with this picture??

On the front page of today's "happy paper" there is a picture of tourists inside the feeding area with a large number of alligators....feeding them.
Including small children as close as the length of an alligator.

Does not seem consistent with warnings about feeding such dangerous wild animals.

I was impressed (not a positive statement!) with such proximity with so many gators.

Maybe I missed something.
Having seen alligators being fed by care takers I cannot imagine they would allow tourists to do so at such close range.

Did it make an impact on anybody else?
Does it not look like a dangerous situation?
