"Residents said they had fed the alligator, which is illegal and dangerous, said Gary Morse, spokesman for the wildlife commission.
Alligators normally flee from humans unless threatened or cornered, but alligators that have been fed by humans begin to look at them as a food source, he noted."
sure it would be a shame, one can't argue with that. It is a shame though that not only do we encroach on their enviroment we also condition them to look to us for/as food. What has to be done has to be done but maybe if people would show more sense less stupid things would happen. Had a thing a few years ago near Miami that had a guy get attacked. Turned out this nice little old lady had been feeding the sucker for years. The gator had to be put down but it didn't put itself in that position. That's a shame.
