@gatorchris1: A recent tragedy in FL as a 71yr old fisherman was killed by a 12ft alligator. Early reports don't provide all the information, but it seems as if this gator had been fed by other people(not the fisherman who was killed) and so the gator associated people with food, which likely led to the attack. A tragedy all around. I remind everyone again, do not feed wild gators, do not allow kids or pets near the water's edge, and do not swim in alligator habitat. Always be aware and be careful when near any body of water in FL. ~~If you would like to donate to the care of the sanctuary animals, we greatly appreciate any support!! You can make a tax deductible donation directly through our website bellowingacres.org and get your own awesome Bellowing Acres shirt and other merch there too!! @bellowingacres Remember guys, we support our sanctuary through social media, so if you’d like to help the animals (for free), please like, leave a positive comment, and share!! We greatly appreciate it and so do the animals! #animaleducation #Animals #Gator #Alligator #gatorattack

Even if you don’t feed them they will still kill humans because they are predatory animals.

If alligators knew right from wrong they’d still do what they do on account of the being hungry.

Kill the gator or it kills you. Boots and meat. That's all they're good for.

People moving here from places that don't have gators, feed them. This has become an issue since 2020-now

I know you can bring a firearm while fishing in Florida, but is it legal to defend yourself with it? Like where is the line between defending yourself and unnecessarily poaching a gator? and would it even help or is it over so fast you it is pointless.

I love animals and I defend animals more than humans most of the time lol all I’m trying to say it’s its own natural instinct. That’s just what they’re made to do is follow their instinct to survive. It’s totally wrong because this man had passed away like that, but we can’t blame the animal either. It’s its natural instinct.

A fed gator is a dead gator. Unfortunately people are selfish and continue to feed them.

Aweful. He was fishing in a retention pond. Floridians know gators are in every body of water.

I think there were also several signs around the area saying to stay away from the water and to not fish in that area.

I live in the area, this gator was a local and yes was being fed. I know FWC was called regarding it being fed . I also see people fishing with kids right at the edge of the water knowing there’s giant gators there! It’s literally a pond off lake Apopka! Not a gator problem, 💯 human error! Prayers to my neighbor who lost his life

Why did they kill it? I’m new here and I’m trying to understand why that was the resolution.

I’m a native I’ve never ever had a gator chase me or attack me. I tell people all the time to not feed them because they’ll associate you with food. Tht poor gator it’s not his fault
