Visited my Aunt in Florida. She said to run crooked...their vision stinks. That caused a few nightmares.

This played out on “On Patrol Live,” one of the few great TV shows on the air anymore. They euthanized the alligator on live TV. That was a little intense. Sad but necessary.

while alligators are still on the federal endangered species list

And WHY are alligators on the ESL in 2023?

Especially in Florida?

FTA: “The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said that while alligators are still on the federal endangered species list, they can still easily be found all over the state.”

Then the article goes on to state that in Florida alone, there are 1.3 million of them.

This is irrefutable proof that the endangered species act is nonsense, just like most of what our government does.

It is illegal to feed alligators because feeding them teaches them to associate food with humans and thus causes them to lose their fear of people.

I would suggest that alligators attacking and eating people would cause them to associate people with food as well.

Let this be a lesson to those of you thinking about moving to Florida.

Gators right outside the door......hurricanes, tropical depressions, sinkholes, water moccasins, shark infested waters.....you name it florida’s got it.

Very dangerous.......don’t say you weren’t warned.

When animals attack! On Saturday night.

‘A gator just bit me’: An alligator attacked him on his front porch. Florida man shares his story.
Patricio G. Balona
The Daytona Beach News-Journal

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Scot Hollingsworth heard noises outside his front door Saturday night and thought his teenage son might be sneaking in or out of the house. He could not have been more wrong.

He took one step out onto his front porch, illuminated only by the glare of the television screen, and suddenly felt a set of powerful jaws grip onto his left leg.

It’s DeSantis’ fault! Finally, something Trump can pin on him. But how to turn gators into a nickname? Hmmm.

If I lived in Florida I would shoot Gators and I would probably go to jail for it. I mean come on they crawl out on the road at night and cars get totaled... helluva speed bump.

Couldn’t these alligators (and their Everglades python friends) be relocated to the Rio Grande?

Always turn on the lights and peek outside to check who’s banging on the door. City rules apply in gator country

Gets up, grabs some coffee and opens the door to greet the morning... “ The birds are singing, the sun is shining - My, what a beautifulllllll.....Yeee-awhhhh!! Lordy, help me!!”.

Maybe moving to a gator infested state wasn’t the best idea he ever came up with?

I love Florida!
I’ve gone through countless hurricanes ( 4 in one year)
ONE big alligator in my backyard
Incredible humidity and heat
Fire Ants, etc

But I love the bright happy sunshine……it’s rarely dreary
Everything is green year round
There is awesome scenery, sunsets and of course, the Atlantic Ocean nearby

For almost 50 years ! From my front yard, I have watched rockets and shuttles lift off
However, I was here during the Challenger explosion…….a sad time for all

Please if you don’t like Florida, stay away
……but I love it!

The Gator put his own little twist on the Ring & Run game. Knock-n-Chomp.

Florida has a healthy and stable population of about 1.3 million alligators of every size.

Do they really need that many alligators?
I would like a pair of western boots made of alligator belly, but too expensive.
We need more supply.
