Activities must be documented and caging requirements apply. [/QUOTE]
Gators are actually surprisingly smart and IIRC capable of remembering people around them.
Well If Crockett could have a Gator called Elvis on his house boat.
That picture of the gator on that quad has me in tears.

Guess you could say its a bit of a.. alitigater
[QUOTE=Fellryn;49955940]Guess you could say its a bit of a.. alitigater[/QUOTE] Please don't.
[QUOTE=Fellryn;49955940]Guess you could say its a bit of a.. alitigater[/QUOTE] Six posts in and I'm already in love. Stick around, please.
So you can keep a 20 foot python eating death machine but not a 6 foot alligator. k.
[QUOTE=27X;49956101]So you can keep a 20 foot python eating death machine but not a 6 foot alligator. k.[/QUOTE] Well. Yeah. The snake ate you but the alligator didn't and because of this you can report the alligator.
They can't exactly integrate it into the wild or a nature reserve, but I can understand why they initially got involved - some people don't realise that they might be doing more harm than good. That gator should be on the state flag though.
As a native to Florida, I feel for this woman. Gators are awesome.
[QUOTE=The golden;49957548]I wonder if it's a Gamergator.[/QUOTE] He could he a belatedgator.
Polk county. This doesn't surprise me that they'd try to take the gator away. Mid to north Florida counties always get a hair across their asses for perfectly legal things.
[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;49955854]Most states and municipalities require licenses for owning exotic and/or dangerous pets and animals.[/QUOTE] in my home state (and many others) there's no laws against or regulating having pet bears lmao, only thing stopping me is the idea of a bear in my home
i thought everyone in florida had a pet alligator
#gatorgate
They drew first blood.
[QUOTE=The golden;49957548]I wonder if it's a Gamergator.[/QUOTE] I'd say it's a Watergator, but then again that's the wrong state.
The lady lost her son and this pet/companion is helping her cope and want to take him away? As someone who has anxiety and other issues I have faced the past year this hits close to home because my kitten helps me cope a lot as does I know a lot of people with their pets do. Look at what a big sweet baby that Rambo is too
[QUOTE=TornadoAP;49958586]I'd say it's a Watergator, but then again that's the wrong state.[/QUOTE] Could be a Wally Gator. [IMG]http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/p__/images/1/11/Wally_Gator_Photo.gif/revision/latest?cb=20120214202319&path-prefix=protagonist[/IMG]
I knew it was Florida... It couldn't be any other place.
[QUOTE=kingstead;49958631] Look at what a big sweet baby that Rambo is too[/QUOTE] I'm not exactly qualified but I'm going to go out on a limb and say the only reason why he hasn't attacked her or anything is because she probably overfeeds him, alligators only are active when they're hungry
[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;49967115]I knew it was Florida... It couldn't be any other place.[/QUOTE] i dunno, i live on the opposite side of the country from her and i have neighbors that have a couple gators as pets. they also have wolves and a lion as pets so they may not be the most normal of people
