This could actually be a goal of not publishing this "heroic" story in the Daily Sun.

Remember, so-called adults were stupid enough to tell 10-12-year-old kids--leaning over the 3-ft-high rope at Lake Sumter Landing so they could see the giant gator--that they need not worry about falling in nor about a gator jumping up and chomping their hand off because "it's just a mechanical alligator"!!!!!!!! We SAW these kids who believed that craziness and no parent was around supervising/correcting them.

There were also residents/visitors who were stupid enough to want their toddlers to experience the buffalo as if they were in a petting zoo, and they put the kids inside the fence with a mamma buffalo with new calf to protect!!!!!!

I think there ARE people who would think they could wrestle an alligator, for some free golf balls!

At the risk of sounding like an old lady. (which I guess I am) This is where your ounce of prevention would be worth your pound of cure.

And all this discussing.
