Alligator attacks woman in Leesburg
 

Just heard on the news that a 84 year old woman lost her arm to a gator in Leesburg. Woman expected to recover. A neighbor pulled her out of the water.
Gator was destroyed by officials.

what is going on with these gators....what was she doing near the water...walking a dog or trying to get golf ball?????

Best anyone can tell she was setting on her porch and somehow ended up in the water. People and gator cohabitation??

I saw it on the news tonight she fell in somehow and a man called 911 and he jumped in and saved her...

News from Florida,Man starts new business.For parties he brings gator for a pool party .He tapes mouth shut and lets kids swim and pet the gators in the water. Cost $165.On Goodmorning America yesterday.Some great way to teach nature,I do not think so.

I saw it too and was shocked. I completely agree with you.

People are going nuts....

Wonder how he got this idea past his business insurance agent? Well, we are going to put reptiles into pools with kids so that kids can get closer to the natural world.

That’s just dumb, no there no other word for this or asinine will work. FWC need to put a stop to this, this guy is a parasite. What next Rattle Snakes and Water Moccasins, with the mouth taped of course.

From your link...

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Gary Morse said his organization has received phone calls from several people concerned about kids and alligators mingling.

Oh Patty.

You sure know how to stir things up.

Just have a thirst for knowledge-LOL

Maybe now we know why there was a local blackout on the Bounce story. I said it before, THEY are trying to avoid the "Monkey see, monkey do" effect.

If you are thirsty, don't go near any water in Leesburg!! :)

I thought this was a joke post. I scarcely know what to say...uhhhhhhhh. Nope. I don't have any words for this.

No it is NOT a joke. Below is the hyperlink to the long newspaper article.
Like you, I am without words.

How anyone could even think this is funny is beyond me. I feel sorry for her and hope she doesn't get a massive infection which her immune system might not be able to fight off.
