They have a small, probably yappy little dog that they allow to race about their yard which, gee leads right down to the swampy water where...duhhhhhhh the GATOR lives.....

and we are surprised our little doggie got grabbed? and this is worthy of national media coverage?

Of course, the gator is now a bad, mean, horrible killer of sweet little doggies. *sigh*

Humans are quite dumb sometimes, reporters even more so.
That's sooo stupid! If you KNOW there are gators, why let your dog out there? Over here, we get TONS of coyotes and wolves that are KNOWN to eat little doggies, and we always had to be out with our little silky terrier. We just got a fence, so it's cool now, lol. But I hate that all gators are now "EVIIILL!" because of some dumb person who couldn't watch their dog. I aslo hate it when one mishap happens with snakes ten times larger than the snake I own, my snake is all of a sudden going to "suffocate me in my sleep" or something like that. Geez... some people.
