'Alligator whisperer' arrested in the Everglades

Florida man who calls himself the "Alligator Whisperer" was arrested after officials received complaints that he was swimming with and kissing gators in the Everglades, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife.

FWC officials had been tracking posts on Hal Kreitman's Facebook page, where they found photos of him kissing, caressing and swimming with alligators, promising others they could do the same if they paid $250 to participate in an "Alligator Experience," KeysInfoNet reports.

"touching, harassing and killing alligators is illegal..." I imagine kissing falls under "touching."

No, kissing is clearly harassment, especially with female alligators.

"So I let you kiss and caress me and now you won't even answer the door?"

That is discriminating.

If a man can’t touch or kiss his alligator, next thing ya know - it’ll be illegal to even MARRY one.

(harrumph)

His was a LIFESTYLE DECISION —he has an attraction and he made an adult CHOICE.

Men travel to rest-stops where they caress MEN.

He travels to glades where he caresses GATORS.

I don’t get this intolerance —he even gets PAID to do so and it brings other people PLEASURE.

Silence = DEATH.

then alligator **it

I suspect these guys are into it for the same reason as extreme sports fans

I'm also curious- would a gator attack if it isn't hungry? They usually just sit around after they eat and attacking with a full belly seems like a waste of energy. Maybe that's his secret?
