A 13-foot alligator was killed by Florida officials after it was reportedly seen carrying human remains on Friday.

The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said officers responded to an area near 134th Avenue North and 121st Street in Ridgecrest, Florida, on Friday after getting reports of a body in the waterway, according to FOX 13.

With help of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the alligator was "humanely killed." Blood could be seen near the alligator.

A witness told Spectrum Bay News 9 that he could see a body in the alligator's mouth.

[Why is the alligators tail still moving? Wasn’t it humanely euthanized?]

I noticed that, too. Maybe they gave it an overdose of something and it was still trippin’.

Gators are somewhat lazy and may have just found someone who drowned. Waste not want not. A slightly ripe corpse would be a rest to an alligator.

“I propose Florida’s alligators be “transported” to the Rio Grande.”


Good plan!

The open border PETA crowd can establish a sanctuary for them there and insist that their now natural food source not be prevented from venturing into the river.

Some thing they’re Alligator Dundee, but they’re not, as we see here.

All alligators should be rounded up and put into a man-made nature preserve that’s completely fenced off.

Allow me to correct you.

All alligators should be relocated to the Rio Grande and allowed to do what nature intended them to do with anyone that sets foot in the water.

1969 lived in Lakeland Fla which as you might expect has lakes. Lots of small lakes even downtown.

One day a woman was walking her german shepherd by the downtown lake. An alligator or crocodile, I never remember which is which, came out of the lake and killed the dog.

Subject of city council meeting. What if it had been a child. The council voted to do nothing because “Blinky” had been living in the lake and had the right of way.

Way back when I used to live in Houston, Tx, there were lots of bums collecting there during the winter. city officials offered them a one way bus ticket north when spring came.
Many refused.

It was a trick offer.

They (being Aholes too dumb to either plan ahead or consider where they were) collected at night in the bayous (anywhere else but Tx they would be called tiny creeks) running thru the city and under bridges. Come summer gators returned to these areas.
Gators got fat.
Bus tickets were snapped up like crazy.

Natural selection in action.

Cities need something like this — besides the gangs of thugs with guns. Can’t outrun a bullet.

I’d say the real cleanup should be of the elites. They’re the festering dunghole corrupting the world.

Get rid of them and their ways, then everything will improve.

Natural selection, an empirically incoherent figment of the same elites’ imagination, will have no effect on anything.
