You may not be able to tell it from the media, but everyone in Florida is not currently being chased around by an alligator. And you gotta love those Marines blasting away at the gators!

Manatee woman shoots gator... The heck with the alligators; I'm still trying to imagine the manatee woman.

But at about 5:45 p.m. Saturday, Frey was in the front of her house when she heard her two golden retrievers, Sammy and Annie, frantically barking.
Sammy was bleeding from his head when Frey walked onto her lanai.
"I have to take this guy out," Frey recalled thinking. "You can't wait to see how long it's going to sit there."
Gripping the gun with two hands, Frey squeezed the trigger four times. The shots hit their mark -- two in the alligator's neck and two in its shoulder.
And the problem is...?

A gator climbs on this woman's property and she defends her dogs...and she gets a citation for "hunting without a license." Un-freepin-believable.

You shouldn't have any problem imagining that. Just step outside your USA abode and look around. Couldn't miss em if you tried. If there's one thing the USA is not short of, it's manatee women.

Here we go again with this summer's version of "The Deadly Florida Attacks ______", the blank filled in with sharks, killer bees, etc. The media will be all over this like sh*t-on-a-blanket.
To: Shinebox
Yep! All this recent gator attention also reminds me of the shark hysteria of 2001. But keep coming to Florida, folks. We need them yankee dollars!

Alligators are pretty tasty too. Just for fun and to get a reaction from my wife, I tried a gator-dog once.
Not bad considering what they eat.

Keep send tourists and we'll keep feeding them to the gators :)

As we Floridians well know, gators are a part of life here. You just learn to look out for them when you're out, especially near the water.
Part of the problem that I have personally observed many times is Florida has seen a huge influx of people from the north, and many of the folks have little situational awareness, or worse, have been trained in wildlife behavior by the movie "Bambi".

manatee womanLOL! I'm so used to hearing about Manatee as a plcae, I didn't think of a half woman, half manatee. Is that why Jimmy Buffet likes them so much?

I've not always followed this advice but in Louisiana we were taught to call Wildlife and Fisheries regarding any alligator incursions and do nothing to the animal or face possible fines.
