Florida brehs can someone explain why they just don't kill all the alligators out there?

I get its like part of y'all identity but come on does the pros outweigh the cons here


White people like animals that can kill them, breh.
In sc they have buzzards as the state birds and you can't kill those disease infested smelly motherfukkers at all.
It was like a baby deer or some shyt in and around the yard somehow and these bytches decided to come have a vulture party in the yard.
You can't even bust at these wack ass diseased ass animals either.
or you go to jail for killing this nasty ass disease infested ass bird.

Cause the gators are good for the environment, they eat snakes who eat birds who eat insects who in return suck blood.


They are also good for the economy, gator shoes, gator purses, gator jackets, gator tours and gator burgers.... it's our way of life dig




































Sike naw I'm not even from Florida:umad:

Alligator bait, also known as gator bait, is the practice of using little black children as bait to catch alligators. Some say it was done by white men during slave times in Florida and Louisiana and other parts of the American South.

Here is the most complete account of how it was done, coming from the grandson of someone who says he used to do it:

… the slaves who had babies they would steal the babies during the course of the day, some times when their mothers weren’t watching . … some would be infants, some would be a year old, he said some would be toddlers, he said they would grab these children and take them down to the swamp, and leave them in pens like little chicken coops.

They would go down there at night, take these babies and …. tie them up, put a rope around their neck and around their torso, around here, and tie it tight.

… they’d be screaming. … what they were doing would help them to chum the water. He said when they would throw the babies in tied to this rope, he said in a matter of minutes, he said, the alligator were on them. He said the alligator would clamp his jaws on that child, as a matter of fact once he clamped on them he was really swallowed, he said you couldn’t see anything but the rope!

Possibly a tall tale, but there is more:

There is also an account of this practice in Sharon Draper’s “Copper Sun”(2006). It is a work of fiction about a slave girl written for schoolchildren, but the book is meant to be as true to life as possible based on what we know commonly went on back in those days.

In 1923 Time magazine carried this story:

From Chipley, Fla., it was reported that colored babies were being used for alligator bait. The infants are allowed to play in shallow water while expert riflemen watch from concealment nearby. When a saurian approaches his prey, he is shot by the riflemen.

The Chipley Chamber of Commerce said the story was “a silly lie, false and absurd.” Maybe so, but it was widely reported in the American press, so it was at least believable among White Americans of the time.

Film: The practice has appeared in at least two films: “Alligator Bait” (1900) and “The ‘Gator and the Pickaninny” (1900). Two tales of boys used as alligator bait were told in “Untamed Fury” (1947).

Language: Probably from at least the 1860s up until the 1960s “alligator bait” was a racial slur among whites for little black children. In Harlem in the 1940s it was applied to blacks of any age from Florida.

Imagery: From at least the 1890s to the 1960s black children were often pictured as alligator bait, particularly on postcards. One man in Florida had a picture framed and put on his wall showing nine naked little black boys with the words “Alligator Bait” written below:

How common is it to run into a gator in Florida? I'm taking my boys to Disney for the first time in a couple weeks and we're staying at the resort.

I was visiting my sister in Tampa and baby gators were in the pond out back. Full grown gators were in the lake across the street. I went to the post office and a huge gator was chilling at the entrance. I walked right by him:merchant:. They sit there like statues.

There were some huge birds that flew over my head one night and scared the shyt out of me. Picture a 5 foot tall gray flamingo with a long katana shaped beak. They would walk around with their young so if you got too close they could probably kill you.

It's Jurassic Park out there:sadbron:

American Gators aren't overtly hostile towards humans 98% of the time, long as you stay out their areas and aren't super aggressive towards them you should be aight, but humans keep flocking to their subareas in the Southeast so attacks have started creeping up

yeah someone already told me there was signs. i was speaking hypothetical. i didn't read the full article and i've never been to disney world.


disneyland don't got no gators. :whew:

Not trying to hate on the parents, but come on.

It was like after 9pm ET when this happened according to reports. The sun had set so it was dark...

I'm really not understanding people who think that 2 year olds, and 3 year olds should be wandering around and not restrained somehow in public places..

Their warning signs state "no swimming" and i think there are a few at the Contemporary Resort that say "no wading" but nowhere in Disney does it have an alligator warning. As you probably know a sign that says "no swimming" is a lot different than a sign that says "alligator warning". Im surprised it hasnt happened more often. They hold movie nights right on the banks of those lakes and you know kids are going to go near the edge of the water.
TRUE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN AN ALLIGATOR SIGN BUT JESUS CHRIST, ARE PEOPLE REALLY THAT STUPID ESPECIALLY WITH A 2 YEAR OLD TO DEFY A NO SWIMMING SIGN IN FLORIDA?? I MEAN :comeon:
