Stupid comment.

All disney had to do was post a sign about gators being present, and nobody would have been on that beach or near the lagoon. Of course, they didn't post a sign because they wanted people on that beach.

So do they have to post signs at the Grand Canyon that scorpions including the one deadly breed in the US are common?
Do all Alaskan cruise ports have to post signs that there are many wild bears in the area?
Do all parks in the US that are in regions with large numbers of deadly poisonous snakes (virtually all parks and areas of the US have some poisonous snakes) have to have signs warning visitors of poisonous snakes in the area?
Do those areas where cougars or wolves or wolverines, brown recluse spiders have to post that these are common to the area?

Be real. You can't cordon off and keep out all of the dangerous wildlife that is out there. Making businesses responsible for detailing the dangers of the local habitat is unreasonable. It was an accident. No one was at fault.

It seems smart to provide warnings about animals and other hazards that folks not from the area might not be aware of, yes.

Scary shit.

The average alligator is nearly 800 lbs. The ones who are big enough to eat people can't climb a fence. Alligators usually lumbar around. I have doubts about the video's authenticity.

The average weight of an ADULT, fully grown male alligator.

Alligators hatch and they are maybe 4 inches long. The one in the post simply isn't fully grown. Why doubt is authenticity?

Never satisfied.

A better analogy would be if there were a ride that presented small but serious risks to someone under 48 inches - maybe even had a sign saying that smaller people shouldn't go on the ride -- but didn't explain why they shouldn't ride and still let them go on it.

This poor family. They don't even have the body, and they have all these images in their heads of what happened for the rest of their lives. I don't know how they are making it through this.

Sure they were

New poster here. Here's the link for a British family that visited Disney in April 2016 and were also chased by a gator.

Good. I hope they start culling statewide, and throughout the Southeast. Enough with the stupid environmentalists. The gators are a dangerous nuisance. They should have died out with the dinosaurs. Biologically, they're much, much older than us. They've had a good run, now it's time to go.

Not going to happen. Enviros care much more about animals than they do humans. Just wait until reintroduced wolves start expanding into more populated areas. There's a reason our ancestors tried to reduce the numbers of these species.

You're an idiot. Hysteria! Fear!!! Wolves aren't a threat to humans, they prey on smaller animals, elk, deer, cattle. I guess you're not aware of our ecosystem. Wow, the ignorance.

That ones pretty cute. You could easily handle it on land. Water too with a bit more effort. Assuming you are a grown person.

It's a white sand beach that reaches the water. The child was one foot from the sand, in inches of water. Had he been 12 inches back, standing on the sand, watching the movie, the fireworks, whathaveyou, and been attacked by the very same alligator, would you still blame the parents? At what point is Disney culpable?

Why does anyone have to be culpable? Maybe something tragic happened and no one is to blame.

Yeah I just don't see how Disney is culpable for a wild animal wandering into their pond. It happens. Sometimes there's just no blame.

It is Florida, natural habitat of gators, how can anyone guarantee wildlife cannot get it in. I am totally not blaming the parents, but I do not see how Disney is fully culpable either. If it is GA, North or South Carolina, Florida and there is water, there is a danger of snakes, gators.PERIOD. All of you people are acting like the Magic Kingdom really is magic.

This is why Disney is culpable, because they cannot guarantee that the environment is safe, but they give the illusion that it is safe. There should have been alligator warning signs.

No, there is no illusion except in your mind. It is one thing for the parents to not have an understanding about gators in FLA. But people like you say it's because Disney gives and "illusion" of safety is totally different and dumb!
