Walt Disney World should be doing what millions of the guests expected they have been doing since the 1970s; trapping and removing the alligators.
Again?
- Virtually impossible
- For every one gone, it's replaced with another
- NATURAL to the ENTIRE State
- Alligators were on the endangered species spectrum
- Gators are protected by law
- That means against the law
- Disney has no authority to move the bigger ones
- State must come in, evaluate and move bigger ones
- Disney can and does move smaller ones when they feel a nuisance
- Something like less than 30 deaths in 70 years in the state = LOW priority and not a problem
- They have much bigger problems, google Nile Crocodile and Pythons ... in the everglades ... guess where the everglades go to, yup Orlando.
- Greater danger from poisonous snakes and amoeba
- As always Disney World is an optional vacation, don't like it's wildlife, don't go
- Gator attacks are more due to reduced fear because people feed them and people entering their areas, aka people are the problem.
- "Millions of guests expected" ............... nothing whatsoever to support that statement.
- We get it, we've heard it over and over, you don't want alligators at Disney.
- Not gonna happen any more than getting rid of all the birds.
AGREE.... NY Post is the equivalent to Enquirer so junk journalism with no real regard to facts.
To follow up on the CSR guest .... his story has not been consistent. He first stated his son was out in the water to top of his calf .... note that CSR water is not accessible like GF so he clearly entered water he was not supposed to go in. He was so upset, so shocked, so livid that the manager didn't do anything ........... so he, a lawyer, did nothing either. He didn't make any calls or write any letters when he got home - kinda his specialty. What he did was wait until now to get his "story" to the national media, which for all we know is made up, and loving his 15 minutes of fame. Maybe he is hoping to represent the family.
