This is the craziest thing I have seen in quite some time!

I think Darwin might have a say in that guys longevity before long...

That is nuts! One day one of those 2 gators is going to decide that he looks tastier than the chicken! And Darwin award winner we'll have!

Isn't that the guy from the 'Why I drive a Chevy' ad!?!?

What a genius...

This definitely falls in the "do not try this at home" category. That's just downright nuts.

I opened this up all excited to see someone "representing" us in Florida. Then after I started watching, I wondered what on Earth that guy is smoking. That's nuts!

Aw come on guys. This made me proud to be a Floridian. We might be a little insane but we are fun to be around.

 

[Geiger41]

That is incredible !!!! I wonder if that is a secluded area where the guy basically worked with them gators since they were newborns.

Kinda scary, ain't it ? !!!!

LOL! I just watched this cat on my local news. He is a tour boat captain and the FWC has warned him not to do it anymore as it is illegal to molest and feed the gators.

 

[Geiger41]

Im sure the FWC loves it actually but they cant say that. He probably attracts a lot of money that goes to the FWC.

Last year an airboat captain got his hand removed by a gator while he showed the boat load of tourists how brave he was to feed them. I had the pleasure of getting a tour from the same captain a few years back.

I heard the follow up story on this guy a few months/weeks ago. In addition to losing his hand he got fined for feeding the gators (chicken and his hand). The report went on to state that the authorities that be ended up hunting down and killing the gator since it had tasted human flesh.

Floridians are either braver or dumber than Californians, the first thing I'd do is find a new place to boat. The second would be to call animal control.

How does the Chive say it... A whole lot of NOPE with a dash NO!!

 

[Murf'n'surf]

They located the gator the same day and killed it to salvage the mans hand. The doctors said sorry we can't use it due to bacteria in the alligator stomach.

Is it just me or does the other air boat look like it has LA reg numbers?
