not sure how you don't try to rescue someone in that situation


If you're in a boat and think you can reach her, maybe... or if you can see the gator and have a powerful gun on hand... but if you're walking along as well and a big arse gator lunges out of the water, grabs someone and drags them in, what are you really going to do? If the gator has her and takes her underwater, it's over. You're powerless to help her.

Man, I went to a Florida Gators game once. Hits close to home



Damn me too. I walk my dog and went to a Gators game, in the Swamp no less. The stars are aligned. Guess I need to sell my dog.

Gators and crocs are awfully touchy these days. That's about four incidents in a week. They need to calm down.



There's a reason they've been around 200 million years.

If the animal actually came up on land and took a woman away in an unprovoked manner, it was not an alligator. It was probably a crookodile.


Was it wearing a hoodie and carrying Skittles?

I would love to have seen you dive in the pond and wrestle her from the gator’s jaws

Assault gators have become a real problem. They need to limit the amount of teeth.

Death by dinosaur would be a pretty bad arse way to go.
