"but she feels he deserves more compensation for what he saw."

Money grubbing cow. He saw nature in action. Its a damn turtle, anyway. Not like its a dog or something.

Compensation? He got a cool science workshop on how nature really works. Might become a conservative right then and there. And you could also do a Hypothesis Work Sheet: “What do you THINK might happen if you put a small, tasty pet in an alligator tank?”

DUH.

as workers put the slider into the alligator exhibit, where two other red-eared sliders already live. Gulfarium officials said that the alligator, Gracie, had just been hand-fed and that the gators normally don’t express interest in the turtles.

I wonder that it never occurred to the zookeepers that to an alligator raised or kept in captivity and fed by handlers every day or whenever, seeing flesh being put into the water by handlers signalled "dinner" to the reptilian brain.

Stupid move. I don't "normally" have any interest in turtles either but if someone at a restaurant served one up to me on a platter I would assume it was meant to be eaten.

more compensation

They need to have the kid watch when they feed the live rodents to the snakes.

If only this had been a Disney production, the turtle would have escaped in a whimisical manner after a suspenseful interlude. Unfortunately for the turtle, reality is not a Disney production.

Still, it’s not exactly easy for a kid to see a beloved pet consumed. Many FReeper pet owners would have themselves a pair of gator skin boots.
