Do Not Feed The Animals
This is a particular peeve of mine. People who have absolutely no respect for nature or wildlife and think that they can feed critters for their own amusement only to condemn the animal to death. Once a wild animal is fed they approach people and bam, a death sentence is handed out because the animal is too aggressive. This is what happened to the Buffalo, people picking up tiny children to pet the buffalo and then complaining that the animal frightened them. Pitiful....
Belittleing the original poster is another example of being ignorant about wildlife and the havoc they can cause. A gator can leap quite high and snatch it's prey. People, especially small children, are no match for a hungry gator and hanging over a railing is a disaster waiting to happen. This is not Disney, it's the real world and we need to learn to coexist with the wildlife around us and be safe while doing so. Another rant, please do not feed the Cranes, they told me they don't like wonder bread, it makes them too fat to fly.
