An alligator's snack at Disney

[Losty]

He wasn't a snack. The alligator drug him underwater and drowned him. It's very sad that the parents didn't abide by the no swimming signs and that the park didn't feel it necessary to put up any alligator signs. Most places around here have "Do not feed the Gators" signs.

At first I misread that as the alligator drugged him and thought, well, maybe if the kid wasn't wearing such revealing clothing he wouldn't have looked as tasty?

Seriously though, if there were gators in the area and there wasn't anything specifically saying that, I think a wrongful death suit is possible. I mean, "NO SWIMMING" rarely ever means "YOU'LL FUCKING DIE IF YOU GO NEAR HERE."

Lol. Is drug not correct? Dragged? I don't know.

The kid had just a few puncture wounds according to the article I read. Gator didn't even take a bit of him. Just killed him for being in his space I guess.

Dragged.

Well, until we prove the gator didn't roofie him first, either works.

I have personally been at this beach and the water is nasty.. to the point where your a bad parent if you allow your kid to play in it. (heavy green sludge tint to it) let alone, in the dark.. at night.

I read that this is a man-made lake, and they don't know how the alligators got there. Is it nearby to natural waterways where the gaters could have come from?

What a great idea.

Disney resort will post alligator warning signs after 2-year-old boy’s death

I just hope the alligators can read.

Classy.

As a festering boil.

but maybe the news is right and everyone is an absolute idiot and we need signs on everything so the people without common sense can continue to be represented in the gene pool, despite Darwin's theory's best efforts.

Bold by me

This is what I hate about The UK tbh. We don't have crazy wild animals like The USA has, but you'll see stupid signs put up around construction sites, yknow just in case we missed the massive fuck-off building under construction with loose parts flying everywhere.

It's a sad world when people actually are that stupid that they need to have their hand held like that. "No swimming" signs or not, no toddler should be going near any body of water unsupervised. I do blame the parents for this.

The warning signs are not there to stop idiots from doing stupid stuff.  If they can read them they probably won't.  They are there so that when their next of kin tries to sue the defense can point to the warning sign as an added precaution that they took.

Just legal shit.  The result of too many lawyers.

It's a huge man made lake with branching canals in the middle of a frickin swamp. The alligators got in by walking right in....

He was being supervised. Do you really think his dad could have gotten there in time to catch the alligator and try to pry it's mouth open is he hadn't been paying attention? Alligators are faster on land but they're not exactly slow in the water.
