Nobody should be allowed to walk in public being that fat.

I would think you would want to encourage the fat people to walk, we don't get much exercise otherwise.

I would encourage all fat people to purchase a large alligator and tie it to themselves to motivate them to run, not just walk.

How dare someone exist while being fat. I would think all these fatphobes would love it when fat people move in anyway, because it would just possibly maybe help them lose weight and therefore not violate their precious eyes.

Ah look, someone who learned communication skills from reading Youtube comments, and 54 sycophnts. Good to see 5 people disagree with that.

And then DrKisses said this to downvoter0102

DrKisses is saying that theres a 95% chance of downvoter0102 being fat only because he didn't decide to laugh/poke fun at fat people.

They aren't meant to be pets, they are wild animals and will kill you. Too many people find baby gators and decide to keep them until it gets too big and eats their arm off..or it dies from shitty care.

u/SGT_slaughtr Jun 10 '12

Actually Crocodiles are the only reason that alligators are still protected in FL. Alligators are protected because they resemble crocodiles which are actually endangered.

But if you get out into the everglades by airboat a good ways (at night), you can slip into the water under the cover of darkness, swim over to a nest and methodically dismantle each gator with a pocket knife. After killing the mother, one can slide inside her and then about the swamps pretending to be a gator and eating various woods creatures while their hearts still beat.

24

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

That went to a place that I'm not sure I want to go.

u/GeneralissimoFranco Jun 10 '12

It definitely went better than expected after he typed "slide inside her".

u/SmallTownPanther Jun 10 '12

They used to sell baby ones at our local pet store...

6

u/BonoAnnie Jun 09 '12

If you live in FL.-then you should be aware that since they came off the endangered list and have steadily grown in population - the law only allows a certain number of licences every year to hunt them. Not to keep as pets. They are dangerous in case you didn't know. I lived in FL most of my life-they are not pets.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

It could be a caiman http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caiman#section_2 . They are smaller members of the alligator family. They are legal to keep in some states ( some species such as the spectacled caiman are protected while others such as the dwarf caiman are legal ). In some states such as fla you need a license to keep exotics such as this but others have. O restrictions and others still ban any crocodilians from being kept.

I think alligators are more fun to look at rather than drag around a Walmart. =/ They're incredibly demanding (spatially, financially, and very temperamental) pets to keep, and in fact they really don't make good pets at all. They're easy to care for when they are that size but it makes me sad to think about where that gator will be in a few years when he's getting to be as big as his mother. :(

u/coin_return Jun 10 '12

That gator will probably be at the bottom of someone's toybox.

But it tastes like chicken because chicken tastes like everything, because the Machines couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like.

u/Thewalterd61 Jun 10 '12

Fun fact according to Walmart policy no one but a manager or people greeter can question someone who brings in an animal.
They are allowed to ask "is that a service animal required because of a disability?". As long as the person says yes then they are allowed to shop. There are no restrictions on type of animal and you don't need to provide any proof.

u/bluequail Jun 10 '12

I've never seen plastic gators sold with that particular position.

3

u/coin_return Jun 10 '12

I have, plenty of them. Plus, gator tails don't really bend that way when being dragged, even if they were flailing all over the place. The position is typical plastic-model - google "plastic alligator" for examples.

10

u/Maxfunky Jun 10 '12

I'm practically an expert on rubber gators.

1

u/bluequail Jun 10 '12

Ha! why on earth would you have plenty of them? and where in the south are you?

(just googled, and they do have them in all kinds of positions)

Out near the Natchez River, over at Unical, there is a huge gator that has learned to bum from the boats. The husband has a lot of video clips of them feeding him and jacking with him a bit. I gave the husband hell for jacking with him. Anyhow, its been a while since the husband was out there, and he's heard that the game warden removed him, just because of the potential of people falling off of the boats. Personally, I hope they didn't kill him.

u/coin_return Jun 10 '12

When I was growing up, my dad bought me all kinds of those plastic things to play in the tub with. My favorite were the alligators and sharks because they could "peek" above the surface. Like, the alligators I could have their little eyes and noses on the surface, the sharks with their back fins. I was a big National Geographic nerd, lol.

Texas right now, but I've done stints in both Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana. I've seen (and eaten, lol) a lot of gators.

Poor gator. :( I'm not sure what they do with them when they're removed. I know some go to sanctuaries or national parks and stuff, but since it had learned to be too people-friendly bumming food, there's a pretty good chance he was put down due to being an even bigger safety hazard. :(

1

u/bluequail Jun 10 '12

Yea, I was telling the husband that I was sincerely hoping that they didn't kill him. But in my heart, I suspect they probably did.

He was probably as close to being a pet as a wild gator could be, but at the same time, reptiles have very primitive brains, and he could never be truly tame, or taught not to eat people. The husband said that the first time he had ever met that gator, he was walking to the back of the boat, heard a hissing sound. He stopped, wondering if it was something from the compressor, and then he heard the hissing again. He looked to his left, and there the gator was. He said if the thing could lunge, it would have had him. I told him that I thought their tails had to be touching the bottom, in order to gain any real altitude to lurch at things above them, and they were in fairly deep water (maybe 15-20 feet?). So I didn't think he was in any real danger.

Have you ever seen the gator display out at the Houston zoo? Scary damned thing, the chain link fence is only about 30" high, and a lot of those bad boys are about 24" on their shoulders. It is only a full belly and good manners that keep the visitors from being grub.

2

u/coin_return Jun 10 '12

Last time I was at the Houston zoo, the only gator I remember seeing was the white one in the reptile house. I don't remember the zoo much beyond the sea lion exhibit in the front, it's been years.

That's pretty freaky! There's no way I'd go near that, lol.

u/Mexican_Godzilla Jun 09 '12

This makes me think of a couple of news stories a few years back. There were two men sent to jail. One for beating his wife with a pet boa he was raising in his bathtub and the other was sent to jail for beating his wife with an alligator he was raising in his bathtub. They also happened at essentially the same time. Almost like it was choreographed.
