Gator Loose?

  • Chicago animal control officials have closed the eastern half of Humboldt Park and hired an expert from Florida as the search for an alligator in the park lagoon enters its second week.

    The closure, which includes streets near the park, was done on the advice of the expert, Frank Robb, and is aimed at making the area around the lagoon as quiet and free from distractions as possible, according to Chicago Animal Care and Control.

    “It is likely that residents who have been watching from the lagoon banks and paths in the park have been influencing the animal’s behavior," Kelley Gandurski, executive director of CACC, said in a statement. "We are taking these steps in an attempt to create an environment that lends to the animal’s safe capture so we can quickly reopen the entire park to activity.”
So Gator Bob is gone? And numerous rumors in the comment sections think the small predator may have moved on to quieter areas.

Gator Bob seemed to be a bit of a goof.

Why didn't this happen last week? The news was reporting that the alligator would be scared of the noise....and then they show a circus of onlookers in the background.

The alligator was a prop. He was one of those blowup gators placed there by the administration to get the citizens minds, and the news media off of all the carnage from the shootings and killings. He is now floating around in some politican's backyard pool. Maybe we will hear about a 20 foot python in Garfield Park. Finally a plan to reduce the perceptions of the amount of crime reported in the news by creating diversions! He sure got a lot of coverage.

The reptile came out to greet another reptile (Crocodile Dundee-Groot) and she ate the gator. She is having a purse and belt made from the hide.

I wonder what this will cost the city in the long fun for all services just because some nitwit kept an illegal alligator in his house that got too big. Or how about this scenario, maybe the alligator owner was a hit man who got rid of his hits by feeding them to the alligator. Too many hits then alligator gets too big so he has to go. How did he even get the alligator to the veterinarian for his checkups?

The city is going about this All wrong. They need to bring in about 500 grown alligators for the troubled neighborhoods. Tag them with gps trackers and move them around monthly. Kinda like taking a herd of goats to overgrown areas.

Check your results after a year to see if there’s a reduction in problems.

After arriving in Chicago and hearing about all the shootings he decided it was too dangerous to live here. So he is returning to the Gulf of Mexico via the Chicago River, Chicago Sanitary Canal, Illinois River to the Mississippi out into the Gulf. Easy trip just go with the flow, but the smell is awful.

"Gator Bob" was reckoned with at the Monday morning accountability meeting. I guess Munchkin does mean business.

I saw this movie before. He is now living in the sewers and will go on a rampage when he is 20 feet long.

He is not missing! I caught him in my yard and now he is being made into a comfortable pair of boots. One shot in the night was never even noticed.

I heard that the gator may have escaped by committing a car jacking. A woman and her family reported they had gone to the park hoping to see the gator may have become his first felony victim. She said when they returned to their car they were confronted by the gator who ytook their car. She did report it to police but said she would not be able to identify him because he wore a mask.

Officers please be careful, yesterday there was an event that went horribly wrong at the park as a result of the gator. Here is video footage of the tragic incident.

Frank Robb’s idea was also found to have no shooting in that area. He may be on to something here.

If we make the gator quiet zone large enough, we can call it north Florida

This is scandalous, outrageous, egregious, preposterous and furthermore an anti-reptilian overreach by a fascist gubmint.
Alligator don’t need no relocation, put in cages, separated from his homeland sanctuary.
He ain’t be about nuffin.
Y’all just can’t make him go on back from where he came from.
This ain’t who we are.

Several commenters have mentioned that Alligator Bob may be way out of his element at best or totally incompetent at worst. I learned early on that the only old guy with a white beard that we can trust is Santa Claus, and I'm not too sure about him sometimes.

Look at the lost revenue. All those carts selling food and drink to the onlookers is over now. Shoulda let the gator stay. Sales of gator stuff for tax revenue. Besides, first frost the gator would be gone...

So what now? $10,000 of the taxpayers dime to fly the gator back down to Florida to let him loose in the wild so the Disney crowd can sing kumbaya?

Fuck I'd have bought a roaster chicken at the Jewel and took the thing out with a rifle for much cheaper. I'd have even took the tail for eating.

$1,000 is my price for all future gators. If I was still drinking I'd do it for free.

Anyway thats my price. Its your money.
