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.

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?

Full grown or not. Long tail, long claws, lots of big teeth. Thats one scary fucker.

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.

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.
