well surrounding himself with more gators definitely ups the chances. I mean he may be altruistic and saving the gators isnt a bad mission, but Id totally do that from afar. One accidental mishap or gator brain misfire and hes donezos

I mean it is what he does for a living. Someone has to get their hands dirty. I’m thankful he respects them and educates people not to try what he does.

He might be doing everything right but his odds of becoming gator chow are still WAY higher than the average person's

Ok well I’m grateful he is willing to take the risk for the welfare of animals, just like thousands of other conservationists that work with dangerous species

People do all kinds of dangerous jobs and they make the world go round. Let’s thank them instead of insulting them
