Default Pictures when you visit T.O.V.

Why are there photos today feeding a gator, illegal here in Fla. Yesterday a hand holding a pistol as to fire it. Like there isn't enough foolish stuff here already.

Are toy talking about the "Random Pictures" from members albums that show up on the home page?

If so, they are exactly what they are described as being. Random Pictures from Members Albums...

There certainly is "enough" foolishness. But ask yourself, isn't speeding illegal in Florida, and do you still find people speeding ? A hand holding a pistol ? Have you ever seen the kinds of things on facebook ? Point is, the police are spread so thin in every city and state, how can they trace down those who, in defiance of laws, feed gators, sea turtles, etc. Simple answer I guess, "bigger fish to fry".

"Feeding" sea turtles? Have very occasionally spotted a greenie gnawing on some grass, but ain't *never* seen anybody feeding one. :-) Manatees, maybe?

No, I did not.

Since the OP used the verb 'visit', I thought it referred to a geographic location.

To many, yes. To someone who doesn't post a lot? Maybe not...

I don't see anything wrong with someone holding a pistol. ........Unless it's pointed at me.
