What's the point. That's the way C-D goes. Round and round, round we go. One example means EVERYBODY does it, according to people on C-D.

For something that stupid to make it on your "list", it must not be very long. I cant even remember the last time someone in FL was acually killed by a gator.

There are alligator deaths often where my parents live in SWFL. They had an alligator in the lake in their backyard for a few days. They didn't keep our cats outside on the lanai just in case.

Stop telling people what's not true. People DO get killed by alligators. Whenever my dad and I are driving around, he shows me certain sections of the town where people recently died from them.

No there aren't...here's some actual facts instead of opinions flying around...


List of fatal alligator attacks in the United States by decade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The last fatal attack anywhere was in Nov 2007. The last fatal attack in SWFL was in 2005.

Since 1970 there have only been 22 fatal alligator attacks in Florida. Only 22 in almost 40 years.....not even worth worrying about....

And you think that is nothing to worry about? Speak for yourself. You just confirmed my thoughts

What did I say that wasnt true? I seriously couldnt remember. If your stupid enough to get attacked by an Alligator, you deserved it. Ive seem many many alligators in my life. Ive even swam with them. For the most part, they are docile. More scared of use then we are of them. But if you live along side them, you have to know what not to do. People who get attacked are dumb because they either go swimming, or stand by the edge of an alligator infested body of water at night or during mating season. Im sure more people die from the cold in New York.

In that 2007 incident, that guy was running from the police, hahaha. He had it coming to him.

You just contradicted yourself with what is in bold

It does not matter how you slice it. People in Florida are attacked by gators. There is nothing that you can say to change my opinion
