Petting American Alligators
This girl (Kileigh.Rose) on tiktok is going viral and getting followers after her and her little brunette friend went to SILVER RIVER (Ocala, FL) and harassed multiple large alligators. In the wake of MULTIPLE alligator deaths this year and at the end of mating season is actually insane. The alligators these girls are harassing are large and they will retaliate eventually. I’m still flabbergasted that I even witnessed them rowing up alongside gators and petting them. I have reported this to the FWC (as I’m sure others have as well) and it’s fairly simple to fill out their online reporting form.
What are you guys’ thoughts? As a Floridian, born and raised, NOPE. I do want to pet the cute swamp puppies, but I do not for everyone’s safety.
