You can't fix stupid (not the poster) but individuals who believe that interacting with alligators is cool. There are alligators in almost every pond in TV, that's a given; keeping your distance as you would any wild animal is the only way to insure safety. We had buffalo who were amazing wild creatures and once again people decided to feed or pose with them and they were injured. Out went the buffalo and a unique part of TV was lost. Think about Yellowstone Park, should all the wild creatures be removed so that people can be safe; using common sense isn't so common any more. We need to learn to coexist with nature, they are not here for our amusement.
