Toddler eaten by Disney Gator

I will try one more time to be rational with you then I am just writing you off

In a general sense I agree. If they were traipsing around the Everglades or someplace like Yellowstone?

You do get that they were inside a fucking theme park right? You really can't make that distinction? Are you being deliberately obtuse or are you so black and white your brain is completely incapable of discerning the difference.

As I already said, you should only ever expect to die of boredom at a Disney theme park. Of course the real alligators and reptiles will come out now in the form of ambulance chasers.

Alligator attacks toddler at Disney hotel lagoon​

Lake Buena Vista, Florida (CNN)An alligator snatched a 2-year-old boy Tuesday night in a lagoon at a Walt Disney hotel near Orlando as his father desperately tried to save him.

A frantic search continued overnight and into Wednesday morning, but there was no sign of the child, authorities said.
By midmorning, Disney announced it had closed all beaches in its resort area "out of an abundance of caution" following the attack near the Grand Floridian hotel, a Disney representative said.
"This is still a search and rescue operation," said Jeff Williamson, a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Office. "We are very hopeful. We are hoping for the best."
The child was on the edge of the lagoon when the alligator dragged him into the water, according to the boy's family, said Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Executive Director Nick Wiley. He cautioned that the investigation is still in an early stage and officials need to interview at least two other families who may have witnessed the attack.
Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said the child was "wading ... along the lake's edge at the time that the alligator attacked."
Williamson said the boy was in less than a foot of water.
Parents rush into water to save son
The family of four -- the boy, his parents and his 4-year-old sister -- was on vacation from Nebraska, Demings said. They arrived Sunday.
The parents watched as the alligator attacked the toddler at the Seven Seas Lagoon. The lagoon is connected to a series of canals that feed into large bodies of water.
"The father actually went into the water to wrestle his son from the grips of the alligator," he said. The father suffered minor scratches on his hand but was unsuccessful in getting his son back.
The mother also went into the water, trying to find her child, he said.
"No Swimming" signs are posted at the Disney resort.

"The sad reality of it is it's been several hours, and we're not likely going to recover a live body," Demings said.
He said there is no record of similar incidents in this particular area.

Is your cartoon meant to mock this tragedy?
 
The signs said "no swimming" it didn't say no wading. It did not warn people from Nebraska that water is not presumed safe.
Presume it ALL unsafe ( all kinds of critters and snakes about).

Also gators do wander ( so called nuisance alligators) the large gators find a hunk of territory they like and will defend it..

You can't swing a dead cat here without hitting a live alligator.
 
If there were no signs by Disney that there are alligators in the water, Disney is at fault. If the lagoon was owned by Disney, I think most would presume it to be not filled with alligators and that they no swimming was just for liability.

the fact they dragged out 5 more alligators after this shows negligence. No warning signs of gators, and no attempts to keep them from guests.

Presume gators at all times.
I've done a kayak trip on the Econlockhatchee river..you see a bunch of eyes looking back at you from the water
 
Look, Honey! There's a no swimming sign right there. Surely we can allow our two year old child to wade while we are far enough away to prevent us from reacting to any kind of crisis.

I get that there are gators all over Florida. I do think Disney was negligent if they let one get to 7 feet. That is a huge problem. Three footers are no big deal.

The Disney people knew there were gators in their lagoon. Why wouldn't they let their hotel guests know?

a 3 foot gator is still a tough lizard. They made no attempt at keeping them out or removal.

I hate to say it as Disney is a decent corp, and I have friends that work there, but it is what it is

So why didn't they have a sign saying no swimming, wading or paddling because of alligators?

I didn't mean to imply they aren't dangerous just not territorial or overly aggressive. You don't hear about three foot gators hauling kids off

Can we get a Kickstarter fund going for Legion Trollop? I'd pay good money to see him electrocuted by eels, eaten by caymans and finished off by piranhas.
 
how did a 2 year old get close enough to a gator where he was in chomping range? The parents fucked up. Gotta agree with STY. Pretty much any mediocre body of water in florida has gators. They are on the sides of highways. Don't let the 'disney world' thing fool you. Disney is huge and there are lots of nature-y areas.
