"IN THE EVERGLADES, Fla. (AP)?Crusty's days are numbered. The well-known 8-foot alligator has become so accustomed to people feeding him that his demise is certain. Because state wildlife managers worry all his snacks will make him aggressive, they will have to remove him from a canal along Florida's Alligator Alley in the Everglades and euthanize him."

Just like in the zoo, don't feed the animals!

Worst part they'll blame Crusty for doing what he has been trained to do.

Too bad, if he hurts someone, they don't just round up the people that fed him and punish them instead: That would be justice.

da, since its beneath you to bother to read stuff, let me explain. they don't blame crusty, they DO blame the people who feed him and are arresting people and fining people they catch feeding him and other alligators. they cant kill people for doing things they believe are kindness or just fun things unless they are a hazard to society. feeding an alligator does not fall into the same category as gunning down a lot of innocent people. all they can do is put them in jail and fine them, and they are doing that. the problem is that they did not catch the people that actually created the situation. they hate the fact that they must kill crusty for doing what he is trained to do.


yes, jjw. unthought-out, ill-conceives, unreasonable kindness that does a whole lot of harm can actually kill.


the more man learns, the more he realises, he really does not know anything.
