MOL straight reporting. but,the baboon had to ask "what is FWC doing?" typical MSM stupidiy.

I would never, ever, ever canoe or kayak in lake Kissimmee.
I've been on that water in 22' boats and some of the big bull gators would actually come towards the boat.
Not sure if it's due to idiots feeding them, or if they have learned to steal hooked fish from the line.

That lake and also lake Hancock are totally polluted with gators.

Here's two hours worth of gator hunting on Hancock.

Yeah, that's a no go for me without even knowing much about the area.

I don’t know much (anything) about Lake Kissimmee, but they say you can walk across Texas’ Caddo Lake without getting wet; just sorta hopping from gator to gator.

Same problem when we would shoot ducks on lake okeechobee, the gators thought that was a smorgasbord for them, i gouldnt get them out of the water fast enough.

we got a lot of critters here that can F up your day. we got rattlers,moccasins,corals,pythons,anacondas,monitors,cudas,sting rays,lion fish,sturgeons,a big bunch of sharks and a whole bunch of gators. encourages caution but not panicky fear. this kind of death is a tragedy. doesn't seem like it was anything except an accidental happening. maybe could have been avoided? who can know? but for myself i just think that the presence of dangerous potential encounters makes one appreciate the few wild areas that are still left. keeps life real
as said elsewhere on here,you have a much better chance of being killed or maimed in any city in the country by the criminals that are allowed to run rampant and unchecked.

WTF? Them gators dindunutin!

this is also breeding season. they are a bit more irritable. they are really irritable when they are guarding a nest with eggs or new ones.
forgot to say we also have caimans,an active breeding pop in the glades at least. back in the day people would buy baby gators for pets. at about 3ft they weren't cute anymore. they'd get turned loose in the wild, but,they weren't gators. selling that was illegal. so caimans got imported live and sold at road side tourist traps before the interstates got built.
have heard stories,likely urban legends,about baby gator bought for pets getting flushed into NYC sewer system. and they grew huge eating all the rats down there.

Not to mention roving gangs of black…

So you are saying that Florida is our own little Australia, where everything is trying to kill you?

Hello Fla leadership, when you keep building cookie cutter housing for out of state FNG's, and pushing your unchecked wilds into a smaller foot print, would you expect anything different? This growing pain issue was well known back in the 70-80's but knowing which palms to grease caused it to be shelved many times over,...

Not to mention protecting gators and other things to the point of overpopulation… and allowing an explosion of invasive species, the main one of which is snowbirds…

They are doing a drug deal, for sure...

Gators in the South are still protected (some hunting allowed) but they have become so numerous that they no longer need any protection at all IMO. They are a threat and a nusiance, and we should be allowed to eliminate them when they become a threat without consequence.

Naw, just a meet & greet on which hoods they're dividing up.
