Sometimes animal lovers forget that their pets are animals and think they know their temperaments. Unfortunately this had a horrible tragic ending.

I've been to reptile shows where this guy displays a huge "tame" alligator and he offered to take pictures if a child wanted to sit on it's back. I'm sure a lot of you know the guy I'm talking about. I personally would never put my child or grandchild on the back of that alligator because in the back of my mind I'm thinking "all that alligator needs is to have one bad day and the situation could turn very ugly". Luckily it never happened and since I've hear the alligator unfortunately passed away.
