Upsurge in Alligator Attacks?

THREE fatal alligator attacks in a week down Florida way. Just another reason to avoid that place like the plague - old folks that can't drive, oppressive humidity and hurricanes, alligators eating people on the streets.

Once upon a time, animals KNEW their place in the world. They were food, plain and simple. Sometimes they were clothes, but most of the time, they were food. Then came political correctness and an aversion to actual hunting by the more sensitive members of society (pansies and candyasses). They claim that animals had "rights" and "feelings" and other such nonsense. What the hell do we care if a fish has feelings? Or a pheasant? Or if a deer is anything more than tasty? Nowadays, deer are like rats with antlers, starving to death in the forest preserves because there are just too damn many of them. Wisconsin kills something like a quarter million deer a year and they still out number the cheeseheads something like 2 to 1. Michigan is even worse. Things are so bad that if the deer ever develop opposable thumbs and a capacity to manufacture firearms, the whole human race would be hard pressed to hold it's own. And along with the deer come the predators. We've referenced many reports on coyotes in the city - bears (not football Bears) are making a huge comeback in Wisconsin. New Jersey killed a bear last week that was wandering around Trenton. And mountain lions are drifting east into Iowa every day.

Animals are getting the feeling that they can just push us humans around and the alligators are just the latest symptom. Time to reestablish nature's pecking order before it's too late.

Nothing like a female jogger just sitting on a Florida bridge and dangling her scrawny legs above a gator laden canal. Kinda like those slim, tiny nosed blondes in Prada athletic wear pushing strollers down Chicago Avenue at Hudson. Fucking gator bait. When did white people get so stupid?

Life is nothing but a big food chain, and we're on top. Well....most of the time we're on top. It appears we're slipping once in a while.

Alligators were endangered 40 years ago, but now they're back more than ever. Alligator shoes anyone?

Speaking of alligator attacks. . .

Word on the street is that a certain sergeant was nearly attacked by one while golfing down in gator country. Apparently he thought alligator sunning himself on the fairway was a lawn decoration. Not being sure, he decided to walk up and poke it with his club. When he got within striking distance, the "lawn decoration" blinked. He then wisely got the hell out of Dodge

Since I'm not at liberty to name names, heres a clue. . . This same sergeant also has a problem with horses. In particular, he does not get along well with Mustangs. :)

Before you start buying hunting licenses, can we bring a few hundred gators here for the summer and "thin out the herd" a little? Darwin was right, become smarter or faster that the thing that’s going to eat you, and you might have a chance!

Unleash some of those gators on the usless sub-humans in the ghetto's of New Orleans. They need food to propagate the species.

This was actually an IQ test to see if anyone remembered "Sarcasm and Silliniess." I can see half a dozen failures right in the first 20 comments. Unfortunately, those half a dozen failures will be our new command staff in 5 years. We're DOOMED

Those Gators down there are like housecats up here. When they get old, they make women's purses and mens boots out of them.

And when housecats get old in the districts, they go to Operation Market (hide the statistics) Garden!

When are these animals going to learn? Who do they think they are? Send them all back where they came from! The nerve. Next thing you know they will try to open gambling casinos or something on their native lands

Scottish terriers rule! They are tough little dogs that will go after anything. Very loyal to family. My parents always had scotties.

My beagle got the best out of a racoon in my yard, blood everywhere, dog won. Racoon lived, but never came back for a visit.

Snorkeling (ha!) in Ocala is the equivalent of throwing bloody raw meat into a pool of sharks!!

Land developers keep pushing wildlife into residential areas. Keep building on that marsh land. Yeah...

Maybe the alligators have been inspired by that 023rd District Watch Commander's roll calls.

Once again"urban sprawl".We as humans keep encroching on THEIR land.The gators,deer,and other wildlife were in those areas before us. Native wildlife has fewer and fewer places to habitate or relocate. But it's only a mild inconvience. By building over their habitat we'll just starve them into extinction.Those that come into areas inhabited by us we'll simply kill.the balance of nature is tilted heavilly in our favor(for now.)At least until the next great cataclysmic event.(Asteroids,floods from global warming,earthquakes,tsunamis,worldwide pandemic,take your pick. Before you say it,I'm not a "tree hugger"per se,But I do believe in the "balance of nature". And when that balance is upset,Mother Nature has a way of rebalancing the scales.We and the dinosaurs have way more in common than you might think.
