They're an amusement park geared toward families...
I wonder. People seem to have short memories.
Imagine 3 days of boycott leaving them at 50% income loss for those 3 days would be a loss of over 3 million dollars. That's a lot of money though not comparatively I suppose.

People schedule Disney vacations months in advance. How many are going to cancel?

Anyway, gators can easily climb over the average chain link fence in a couple of seconds.

You're right, we all do. I guess most of us are lucky and don't have to face terrible consequences for our mistakes. It's painful to read about what happened to that boy, and I don't want to believe something like that could happen to my kids, but it's not like I'm perfect.

My Mom lives there, and we go down every summer for a week.
I really, really wish she lived somewhere else.

This year I think I'll drop subtle hints like, "So Mom, did you know there are areas of the country where people don't live in perpetual fear of deadly reptiles...?" Maybe she'll take the hint.
