Hope so. I remember when I lived in Palm Harbor there was a 10 foot alligator at Lake Tarpon's John Chestnut park which loved to sun itself on the shore of a small lake in that park. Japanese and other tourists knowing no better would try to get on the alligator so they could take pictures of one brave soul after another. Pinellas County, Florida, Park & Conservation Resources - John Chesnut Sr. Park

At some point, that alligator had had enough of his or her riders and hissed at someone.

They had to kill the gator because of these tourists taking pictures.
