Feeding the alligators!! What is wrong with this picture??
On the front page of today's "happy paper" there is a picture of tourists inside the feeding area with a large number of alligators....feeding them.
Including small children as close as the length of an alligator. Does not seem consistent with warnings about feeding such dangerous wild animals. I was impressed (not a positive statement!) with such proximity with so many gators. Maybe I missed something. Having seen alligators being fed by care takers I cannot imagine they would allow tourists to do so at such close range. Did it make an impact on anybody else? Does it not look like a dangerous situation? |

My wife and I couldn't believe the picture. Whoever allowed this is an idiot.

... but.. but.. but, there is clearly a line in the sand (if you look very closely). I am sure the alligators won't cross that! (Sarc!)
I agree, it does not send the right message. Everyone should be careful around all wildlife (gators, large birds, snakes, raccoons and coyotes - to name a few). I don't favor feeding any of these (including the birds). |

I agree with all of the comments above, could not believe the picture, and I am sure to NOT be going to GatorLand with the grand kids when they come down....

Not a fan of alligators anyway; now for sure Gatorland is not a destination.

How about the reporter and the editor that made it the front page center piece?

Agree, as soon as I saw the picture I said to myself WT ?????? At least it looked as though there were a couple of trained gator handlers that were watching over the situation, but still?

I looked at that picture several times to see if I was missing the fence that must have been there somewhere... but dang, there wasn't one...

One of the people seems to be an alligator wrestler with a stun gun or something like that. Still it looked like a trial attorney's dream. A lot could go wrong very very fast.
