One person died after an estimated 11-foot alligator pulled them into a retention pond Friday at the Myrtle Beach Golf and Yacht Club near Burgess, officials said.
Horry County Police spokeswoman Mikayla Moskov confirmed that HCPD's Environmental Services and Criminal Investigations divisions are investigating the death.
Moskov said Horry County Fire Rescue responded around 11:45 a.m. to the area of Excalaber Court, and "upon arrival, units determined that an alligator had taken hold of a neighbor and retreated into a nearby retention pond."
The victim was recovered from the pond, Moskov said. She added that a South Carolina Department of Natural Resources biologist and SCDNR-contracted alligator removal service determined that the 11-foot alligator should be euthanized.

That reference is a bit tongue-in-cheek. It is actually a very interesting book. Piles of information that I had no idea of regarding the whole issue of animals interfering with humans and vice versa. She travels all over the world investigating this. Quite a bit more of a dilemma than most of us realize. And very complicated.

Here’s some info that might be of interest to you. One of the most interesting books I’ve ever read in over seven decades of reading is the book by Bill Bryson titled A Short History of Nearly Everything. If you’re not acquainted with it, it’s a fact-filled account of the history of science and world-famous scientists written specifically for people who are not scientists. Bryson has a special skill of writing in a way that is clever and humorous without being silly.
Anyhow I said all that to say this: The last chapter, unlike all that precedes it, is one of the saddest things I’ve ever read because it gives an account of the thousands of living species that have been brought to extinction by the stupidity of humans.

Thanks for the recommendation, I just ordered “FUZZ” on Amazon.
Dreadful. RIP.
I hope you enjoy it. My daughter gave it to me, otherwise I probably never would have looked at it.
You have a working link to the article?
Horry can’t seem to get things correct.
Dems trying to get help from the GOP voters.
LOL.
The original link was good when the article was posted. Someone removed the article from the internet, perhaps in embarrassment due to the grammar/reporting problems.

Please read post #89.
Thank you
You are still a fool.
It’s really simple.
Normal people prefer NOT to be eaten by alligators,bears, wolves, mountain lions, sharks, coyotes,and other predators.
A safe neighborhood has none or very few predators.
It’s one thing to set aside nature preserve where everyone understands that dangerous predators are living. It’s rank stupidity to tolerate dangerous predators anywhere else.

Hoosierham, it’s you who are the fool, because I’ve not posted any comment that suggests dangerous predators should be permitted to roam freely in areas where people live or routinely congregate. My argument was and is that predators found in places where they are likely to harm people should be captured and relocated instead of being killed. That’s my thinking on the matter, and if you don’t like it you can kiss my arse!
or routinel
You are still a fool.

Hoosierham you need to put down that crack pipe, and even though you’re obviously drugged up, try not to say any more stupid things, because in your last two posts all you’ve done is run your yap about nonsense. Now quit your whining about dangerous predators and go have a nice nappy!
Nothing they said was wrong so I don’t understand your response. Are you a city person? In the country, predators need to be killed yet the government idiots live in the city making it illegal. What are you?

Bullshit. No predator needs to be killed unless it is in process of attacking someone. By your reasoning humans should just form hunting parties to go out and kill every single predator on the planet. What stupidity! And no, I’m not a city person, in fact I stay away from cities and city people.
Hoosierham, read this shark attack report and tell me who’s at fault, the sharks or the swimmers.

According to morons like you we need to kill all the sharks in the ocean because these two nitwits decided they’d be safe swimming in shark-infested waters! GET REAL, DUDE!
Life in the coastal south was more enjoyable when Gator’s were an endangered species.
wgmalabama, read this shark attack report and tell me who’s at fault, the sharks or the swimmers.
