Florida Chomps!

Hello.

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.

While rare, alligator attacks do happen and many of the victims are close to the water or have pets within a sight of the reptile. 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. 

Why do people always seem to not be aware of their surroundings when they live in Florida?

Especially when you live in a community where water is close by... I mean are they clueless or just stupid?

A woman died by an alligator attack. The reptile was scoping out her dog and she tried to save it but ended up being the animal's target.

Many of these folks are too damn clueless to realize that it lurks in the water, it is territorial, it is mating season and it is always hungry for a fast grab.

So here we go.....

Gloria Serge, 85 was by a retention pond behind her house in Fort Pierce, Florida, on Monday when the 10-foot-long alligator crawled up from the water and first tried to attack her dog. 

The surveillance footage shows the reptile swimming in a direct path toward Serge’s dog before it rises out of the water and scampers up the embankment in pursuit of the animal. 

The elderly woman was taken to the ground with the alligator then biting her feet, and then she was dragged into the water. While the woman's body was recovered from the retention pond, Trooper the dog survived.

"Please hurry!... It’s a huge gator. It’s huge, I don’t have anything to give to her," a neighbor is heard saying in a frantic 911 call released by Fort Pierce Police. 

"It’s too late. Oh, my God," the woman is later heard saying. 

"Did the gator pull her under?" the dispatcher asks. 

"Yes," the neighbor screams. 

"Alright, you don’t see any of her body, nothing sticking out?" the dispatcher says. 

"Nothing, she’s gone," the woman replies. 

The alligator, which is reported to weigh between 600 and 700 pounds, was trapped and killed by a nuisance gator trapper. 

"Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of the victim," the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a statement. "Serious injuries caused by alligators are rare in Florida." 

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.

Florida trapper apprehended the alligator.

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.
