Disney gator attack: 2-year-old boy found dead (carry, guns, Louisiana)

Disney staff also routinely swept the lakes and waterways for nuisance animals.

As for the poster who talked about common sense, how about the "common sense" that inspired the flagship Disney resort to promote the beach as a viewing area for the electric light parade that started just about the time the gator attacked? Think about it. Everyone's eyes on brightly-lit floats across the lagoon, which screws up your dark adaptation in addition to creating a distraction. Nobody had a chance of seeing an alligator stalking the beach. And why exactly was the resort promoting an event near the lagoon at dusk with no staff members actively monitoring the situation for dangers? The life guard was apparently not on the beach.

No culpability, my ***. Even if Disney isn't found legally responsible for the tragedy, they're completely responsible.

Excellent points! Disney made several errors. Would make an excellent case study for those studying in MBA and facilities management programs.

Blame the wacko enviormentalsts for the intrusion of crocs into human space.

It's Disney. Watch your children closely.

The animal under discussion is an alligator, not a crocodile.

It's expansion of humans into alligator habitat that brings the two into proximity.

Of course there should be signs. Many tourists come from out of the country and have no idea.

Yes my mistake. My comment remains the same otherwise.

And according to the enviro wackos the alligator population must be accommodated into human space?

Um, I think humans invaded the alligators space.

Nothing to do with animals over people. If you invade an animals habitat what would you want them to do or go.

In this case, to the wallet shop, the belt shop, the shoe shop....
