That’s weird. If you withhold food from a dog or a cat, you get charged with animal cruelty. Withhold food from an alligator and suddenly your a fucking hero?

Yes lets be a drama queen.
Reality isn't lost on anyone. Yes the alligator needs to eat too. In evolution though, empathy is part of life, that is where this is coming from.
Lions and zebra males will kill the young that are not their offspring.
I am sure that that same gator, if my cat were not indoor, but were outdoor, and got too close, that same gator would take a swipe at him. But if you think I defend ABBA, nope, sorry buddy, my cat is my family and you'd be making a mistake thinking I am a wimp in all contexts.
This guy did what most people would do, protect something it is familiar with.
There are animal activists that want to protect sharks too. I agree with that. But if we are being honest, there are some species that are at far higher risk than others.
Nobody is blaming the gator, but you also cant blame the guy either.
