What you said is so true. I just read an article that coincidentally proves your point. A woman in St Lucie county was walking her dog near water in her retirement village. She got attacked by a gator that authorities said was at least 700 lbs. I feel very sad for her and I am not one to blame a victim. But yeah, try not to do that.
