[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"So far, no. I suspect there will be a lot more dead gators from that lake. If anything, I think Disney is likely to use this to get whatever waivers they need to cull alligators on their property more ruthlessly. "

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.[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

You're incredibly naive. Just like that lady who went jogging in Alaska.  Wolves have no idea that you're not prey, and they certainly have no idea that your small child isn't. You are a part of their ecosystem, whether you like it or not.

List of humans killed by wolves:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wolf_attacks_in_North_America

Most of these attacks were long ago, primarily because our ancestors aggressively tried to eradicate wolves, because they were a danger.  I actually know quite a bit about wolves. They do generally try to stay away from humans, but they are very territorial and require a huge hunting range.  As new wolves grow, they have to strike out to new territory, and as they become increasingly deprived of territory and food sources, they will move into more populated areas. It's interesting that you admit they prey on cattle, because the cattle ranchers out west were assured that the reintroduced wolves wouldn't eat healthy cattle. Ask the ranchers out west how that's worked out.  The wolves are getting less and less afraid of people.  You city folk who have this fairy-tale view of nature are in for a big surprise as these predatory species start moving into the areas where you're living and recreating.

Wolf attacks are rare?  Sure.  But so are attacks by alligators. Up until now.

Alligator attacks are not rare in Florida. They have dozens of bites every year, and have a death from an alligator about once every 3 years.

That's rare.

Every year in Florida, 10-13 people die and 30 people are injured from lightning strikes.[/quote]
