    Honestly alligators rarely attack full grown adults. If you’ve ever swam in freshwater in the South you’ve swam with gators. I’m not saying I would take the risk, but the odds of being able to get out of there are not terrible.

    But the point wasn’t about it being effective. The point was the implication and the cruelty

      Dude the Everglades is a different beast…so glad I’ve left Florida

      They are by far and large harmless to adults but the Everglades has lots of shit that can get you

      Thank you. Alligators get a bad rap. I’ve only once been close enough to one to get a good look. Only other times I saw them I felt like Darth Vader watching the booty-end of the Falcon hauling ass, again.
