400 Lb. Gator Caught with Woman's Remains In Tummy

Good Godya'll (http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/14574631.htm)

They've been searching for the gator suspected of feasting on this young lady. Saturday, they found it - with two human arms in the stomach!


It was killed, its stomach split open. Inside: two human arms....Garvey roped it around the neck and, with the help of two Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers and two others, dragged it up the eight-foot rock and soil embankment.

It took them half an hour.

Once on land, 180-pound Garvey straddled the squirming back of the 400-pound gator and taped its mouth shut with electrical tape.

I thought I had a hellacious job.

Sometimes I root for the Alligator/Mountain Lion/Shark/Bear or whatever. I mean they don't know any better and are just doing what they know. It kinda of reminds me that we're not actually the top of the food chain if there were like a no holds barred cage match. I mean we probably wouldn't even finish top 10.

They do not make good pets.
Feeding them for your own ammusement does not make them more pet friendly.
It actually makes them more agressive, less afraid of humans.
Sad for the young lady and her family.

So, you root for the alligator? The women were the clear underdogs in that 'cage match.' Too bad they weren't paying attention to their surroundings. Sounds to me that one would be wise to have a shotgun handy down there when out and about amongst nature.

Yep, we're pretty far down on the food chain if you don't include our innovative-ness, but we're handy, and some of us are well-armed.

Betcha it was her agent, boyfriend, pimp or husband that did her in, and fed her to that unsuspecting gator...no wait, that was CSI Miami.

If it was OJ, then heck yeah I'd root for the gator.

Feel sorry for the woman and her family, tho.

We're the Akron Zips of the animal kingdom. This probably is really going to hurt the alligator's strength of schedule.

God, they get 1 National Championship in basketball and all hell breaks loose :rolleyes:

Let me get this straight. You're gonna kill the gator. But before you do, you're gonna wrassle him up a little, tape his mouth shut, and drag him up a bank? How ****ing stupid is this guy? And for that matter, how ****ing stupid is the "jogger" who was sitting under a bridge in a swamp full of gators?

And now this dip**** needs to get his "mind right" cause a sick, old, blind gator killed some stupid chick - all on "his watch." How about just SingTFU?

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I can't quite get a grasp of a beautiful female jogger hanging around under a bridge, in a swamp-full of gators, just begging to be eaten. Something very reptilian about that scenario. It screams "WRONG".

". . . The alligator that killed a jogger in Sunrise was blind in one eye and likely had trouble competing for food, said the trapper who captured the 400-pound creature Saturday. . ."

Chubbs (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001835/): Back in 1965, Sports Illustrated said I was going to be the next Arnold Palmer.
Happy Gilmore (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001191/): Yeah? What happened?
Chubbs (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001835/): They wouldn't let me play on the Pro Tour anymore.
Happy Gilmore (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001191/): Ah, I'm sorry. Because you're black?
Chubbs (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001835/): Hell no! Damned alligator BIT my hand off!
[Shows Happy his wooden hand]
Happy Gilmore (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001191/): OH MY GOD!
Chubbs (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001835/): Yeah. tournament down in Florida. I hooked my ball in the rough down by the lake. Damned alligator just POPPED up, cut me down on my prime. He got me, but I tore one of the bastard's eyes out though. Look at that.
[Shows Happy a small glass jar with an eyeball in it]
Happy Gilmore (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001191/): You're pretty sick, Chubbs.

Are there a bunch of one eyed gators runnin' around in Florida?

[BigRedJed]

Dani Moschella of the wildlife commission said more testing will be done on the alligator to prove it is the killer. Its bite will be compared to Suarez's injuries.
Uh, it might just be me, but I'm thinking the fact it had both of her arms in its stomach should be proof enough...

[OU4LIFE]

The title for this thread shoul dhave been "Crikey".

[TexasLidig8r]

Uh, it might just be me, but I'm thinking the fact it had both of her arms in its stomach should be proof enough...

Merely circumstantial evidence.
There was no "eye-witness."

Perhaps, ANOTHER gator ripped them off.. did not like the taste, left them on the ground. The second gator, who just so happened to be blind in one eye because Chubbs ripped out his eye, stumbles on to the arms, sees free food and naturally, devours them.

In a case of horrible mistaken identity, the second gator is apprehended and before ANY DNA tests are performed, receives the death penalty and sentence is carried out.

This is exactly why we do NOT need the death penalty for poor, misguided, one eyed gators.

The End.

Suicide by gator.

It is also possible that the arms they found in the belly of the suspect belonged to some other unfortunate person. This could lead to the possibility that this particular gator is not really a murderer, but just an arm chomper. Either way, I am a firm beleiver that any gator caught with human remains in their belly is subject to the death penalty.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Bad, bad gator. Give him life without parole!
