Look how they keep apologizing for animals. Forever PETA garbage we have to hear, as surely as all the Moslem apologists come out with every attack.

“Oh, normally humans are not their ideal prey, must have thought it was a dog or pig”. Freakin’ hell, just cut the crap!

The very fact they will take anything that seems remotely like their favorite food MAKES THEM DANGEROUS TO HUMANS!

That’s precisely what I heard the Sheriff say, Thank God.

Prayers for his sweet soul and for his shocked and grieving family.

I wonder why they let anyone even get near that man made lagoon if they know there are alligators in it.

Here is a better article though.

Most of those PETA people wouldn’t know an alligator from a Zebra. They are just like the paid mob members seen outside any conservative venue at any given time, clueless and mostly on the dole.

We get the same line after shark attacks too: "The shark mistook the person for a seal," BS, the shark didn't care what it was attacking, it was just hungry.

Having gone to high school and college in Florida, I recall learning that gators don't immediately eat their catch. Gators drag it under the water to drown, and then they leave it for a day in two to decompose before eating it. That's probably why they found the body intact.

PETA is just part of the socialist movement, as are so many such groups now.

I don’t understand either. So sad and tragic.

At least the child didn’t suffer being mauled to death...
Drowning or freezing aren’t the worst ways to go out...

Nick Wiley, executive director of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which spearheaded the search, said the American alligator was feeding and likely confused the small child for a dog or a raccoon. The gators do not typically feed on humans. “People – even small people – are not their typical prey,” he said.


We’re talking about a primitive animal largely unchanged since the age of the dinosaurs. It’s only calculation is prey, of convenient size, and opportunity. The only reason children are not its typical prey is lack of opportunity.

It doesn’t matter if the shark was mistaken or simply mean when your guts are floating off.
