Say Chomp!

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.

For Pete's sake, if you live in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina, please watch your surroundings. Please stay 50 feet away from drainage, canals, ponds, retaining pools, lakes, rivers and large water surroundings. 

Keep your children, pets and elderly family members away from water. And for the sake of your health and law, please do not harass, torture or mame the animal.

Another victim of the chomp.

A woman was killed by an alligator in South Carolina.

A 69-year-old woman has died following an alligator attack in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, authorities said Tuesday.

Beaufort County Sheriff's Office deputies, Hilton Head Island Fire Rescue, the Beaufort County Coroner's Office and Spanish Wells security personnel responded around 9:28 a.m. to a report of a possible alligator attack near a lagoon bordering the golf course in the Spanish Wells community.

They located the woman -- a resident of the community who had been walking her dog -- at the edge of the lagoon. She appeared unresponsive, the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

While rescue efforts were being made, an alligator appeared and was guarding the woman, interrupting emergency efforts, according to the sheriff’s office.

The alligator was safely removed from the area, and the woman's body was recovered. The Beaufort County Coroner’s Office will conduct an autopsy.

Authorities said it wasn’t clear when the woman was taken into the water.

This is the second fatal attack in the area in less than a year. An 88-year-old woman was attacked by an alligator at a lagoon near her home last August.

The alligator will likely be euthanized.

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. 

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

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, elderly adults 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.
