6-700 pounds!! hahahahah and last week I caught a 300lb gold fish
Not to sound mean or anything but did they recover her body??
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that woman sitting on top the gator showing all the men that women can b strong too 💪
Wow. Hogtying that gator's arms behind its back is not a good look. Makes it look like they've torn it out of its car at a routine traffic stop, and they're gonna kneel on its chest for nine minutes.
I hope they made purses and handbags out of this alligator for her friends.
What if they got the wrong one. The real suspect gator is hiding on the other side of the pond laughing. “ they got the wrong one.”
How stupid do you have to be to feed these things as it says in the news report people are feeding them ☹️👎☹️👎 And WHY aren't the property owners or whoever, getting together and simply putting up some good solid fences to keep the alligators from getting up on the grass, & near anybody? That's just stupid!!!
Alligators are not a protected species. The population must be culled extensively.
Stay out of Florida
Poor dear..
“Mr. Gator, you have a right to remain silent. Anything you say, can be used against you in the court of law. Do you understand your rights?”
Mr. Gator “….”
If you don't get killed by alligators in Florida, you'll certainly be killed in a drive by shooting.
Don't uthanize an animal for doing what an animal does. Some people are just stupid. Choosing to walk right near the water w/their animal knowing that there's gators here. People get what they deserve
Nice alligator CRUNCH!
So why are they saving a wild animal that just killed someone, is FL out of ammo. Bear cougar wolf etc attacks someone they're going down now, not a for a car ride
They just keep saying we have to save the alligators they can run very fast then drag you in the water
Its in Law more than 6ft Crocs automatic shoot in the head!!
No need to put it down. The guy at the end is right to want it out, but it was there first. Put him somewhere people are not at and call it even, then put up signs telling people to stay 25 foot or more from the water. Not saying the old lady is at fault, but there are a lot of ways to fix this. Putting the creature down is pointless. It's not rabid, it's alligator that lives there.
Poor gator. It's just nature 😔
It’s no alligator fault I feel bad about women but warning signs don’t go in water or near going be alligator in it
this is terrifying, gators are killing people. something has got to to be done to protect people from those dangerous predators, it could have easily been a small child
Hello my gecko friend. (Pat the animal) Snap!
A Floridian Boomer died? One less red vote in a garbage dump.
just put him 'deep" in the Everglades — he will eat swamp rats —
When you pick a place to retire a gator swamp wouldn't be on the top of my list. lol Drain da swamp.
Got to be aware of where you are and what dangers abound there. Little dogs are like self-serving snacks to gators, you've got to be more careful!
Got to take out the alligator since it has a taste for human blood.
Why did he say that he wants the alligator euthanized? Just relocate it where there are no humans. It's an animal and doesn't know any better. I feel bad for the woman, but if people from Florida live near them, just stay far away from their territory. 🙄🤷♀️
The alligator 🐊 got handcuffed under arrest I wonder if the alligator was a republican or a democrat?
I think it was republican not sure 🤔
What a horrible way to go!
Euthanized?
What if that's not the alligator that attacked the old woman?
Can't blame the alligator 🐊 it's just doing its job . RIP!! To the lady..
It’s not fair when animals hurt ppl they get put down but pedophiles are allowed to live smdh
Should’ve grabbed the 40 RIP
