In all serious what a magnificent move by this quick thinking and acting man. A ray of light to counteract the so many negative things blasted at us on a daily basis. Great job!
Man reacts to jumping on alligator, helping trainer who was bitten | KSL.com
This person did act heroically and thankfully it sounds like no one’s injuries are permanent.
It does however beg the question as to why an alligator needed to be “trained” and or why 5 year old kids would need to “pet” an 8.5 foot 150lbs cold blooded apex predator.
Would seem if this hadn’t happened the kids might have had a false sense of how to deal with animals. I suspect none will be rushing up to the next animal they see for a selfie.
Seems like a Darwinian exercise for all involved.
Most definitely!!
Sound advice…Never trust an animal trainer nicknamed “Lefty” or “lucky”.
Alligator wrestling would make a unique essay topic.
I believe Pre Varsity Blue scandal the USC alligator wrestling coach had 2 dedicated recruiting spots for students and 1 for an alligator assuming a generous honorarium.
The gator was called “Darth Gator”, and it “snapped” the trainer’s hand.
Gator: “No, I am your father.”
