[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, ultimately, it was an accident. The parents should not be blamed. Disney should not be blamed. They will pay, which they should, but this was an incredibly unusual, freak accident. Sometimes, nobody is at fault.[/quote]

How can you say, at this point, that Disney should not be blamed?[/quote]

because it was a wild predatory animal in its natural habitat and Disney had no swimming signs!  [/quote]

Also,[b] they get like what, 20 million visitors a year? That's what I saw in one article. The possibility of this wasn't even on their radar. [/b]They'll put up the signs now, but I'm sure it won't be enough for some people. They'll still feed the gators.

I do wonder if people would have had the same outcry about a snake bite killing the child. Would people honestly say I didn't think there were snakes at Disney?[/quote]

I agree - MILLIONS of people have been there with no alligator incident.  Who could have foreseen this??  Certainly not the parents.   I guess Disney could've been more pro-active but I don't really blame them.  [/quote]

The cost to Disney of informing its guests that gators were in very close proximity to its beaches would have been negligible. The cost to Disney of enforcing its "no feeding gators/wildlife" rules would have been negligible. Even if Disney believed there was little risk of a gator ever attacking, the cost of it maybe-possibly-one-day happening (a child's life) is so incredibly high, compared to the cost of taking basic and effective preventative measures, it's really hard for me to defend Disney's choice to ignore the issue. [/quote]

Yes they could have done that but do you think people would have completely followed the rules? I doubt it.  Because nothing like this had ever happened before.  But you are right - they should've done it anyway.[/quote]

There was a child attacked 30 years ago and his brother and sister fought off the gator. It's all over the internet. Why does everyone keep saying nothing like this has "ever" happened before?[/quote]
