Can we do a Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?
You can't fix stupid!
You can't change minds!
You are completely trapped in stupid.
You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.
Again, why do white people always treat wild animals like they're domesticated?
I would never touch a wild animal.
Alas, some people think that animals are timid when you're petting them. Nope.
A South Carolina man loses his life by getting close to nature.
It is rare for an alligator to attack humans. However, if you get too close to the reptile, you are likely a victim of stupidity. On land, an alligator is fast. In the water, an alligator is deadly.
A woman in Florida was killed by two alligators.
Alligators are found in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and sometimes Tennessee and North Carolina. They are considered an apex predator due to their superiority and there are not many predators going after them.
Usually they hunt at night and are scavengers for carrion. They are very vicious when protecting their young and are mating.
An elderly woman decided to walk near a pond and fell into it. She panicked and the motions of water got the alligators attention.
After the unidentified elderly woman tumbled into the pond, she “struggled to stay afloat,” the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
“While in the water, two alligators were observed near the victim and ultimately grabbed her while in the water,” the statement added.
The tragedy occurred Friday night at about 8 p.m. at the 0Boca Royale Golf and Country Club in Englewood, about 30 miles south of Sarasota.
Her body was found shortly afterward, and she was declared dead at the scene.
An alligator trapper from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission removed the two suspect alligators — one 8 feet 10 inches long, the other 7 feet 7 inches — as part of the investigation, the sheriff’s office said.
“The FWC and Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office will be working jointly on this investigation until cause of death is determined by the Sarasota County Medical Examiner’s Office,” the wildlife agency said in a statement.
Is this stupid?
The country club is located in a 1,000-acre private gated community that features lakes and nature preserves, according to its website.
The Boca Royale Golf and Country Club is a gated community in south Sarasota County of about 1,000 acres with homes, lakes, golfing and nature preserves, according to its website. There are about 1,000 homes on the property, with several on the water.
Doug Foote, the general manager of the country club, declined to comment because the investigation is ongoing. But he told the 0Sarasota Herald-Tribune there were warning signs about alligators posted near the water.
One local resident told the Tribune that there are too many gators in the area.
Fatal alligator attacks in the state are rare. From 1948 to 2021, Florida reported 442 unprovoked bite incidents from alligators; 26 resulted in fatalities, according to the Wildlife Commission.
This was the latest in a string of attacks in the state.
Police in Florida say a man died searching for Frisbees in a lake at a disc golf course where people are warned by signs to beware of alligators.
The unidentified man was looking for Frisbees and other flying discs in the water and "a gator was involved," the Largo Police Department said in an email Tuesday.
The man who died was 47 years old, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in an email. The commission said a contracted specialist was working to remove an alligator from the lake "and efforts will be made to determine if it was involved in this situation.”
The park's website notes that patrons can “discover the sport of disc golf on a course set in the natural beauty of this park.” The course is set along the lake, which has no-swimming signs posted along it.
Now, police are telling people to avoid the lake while the investigation continues.
Once the animal gets a hold of a prey, it's rare that an animal will escape without losing a body part.
It's the unfortunate cause and effect of animals and people.
I've said it before and I stand by what I say: "Wild animals are......well you know!"
If you want to be a thrill seeker, you might want to get life insurance.
To escape an alligator in the water if possible, punch its eyes or put something in its nose. Don't turn your back on an alligator. If you're on land run backwards in a zig zag position. An alligator does not want to waste its time trying to catch a prey that moves too much. An alligator can travel up to 20 mph on land and is very fast and silent in the water.
When you are near ponds or bodies of water keep pets and small children away.
I will say this as a reminder. Back in the slavery days, white extremists would kidnap Black babies and string them to trees. They leave them crying in the swamps for alligators and bears to attack them. They would use Black babies as bait for alligators and bears.
