Alligators Get Heartburn, Too.
So I’m sitting there just a few feet away from the “do not feed the alligator” sign watching a family of tourists feed the alligator. I guess people from Ohio can’t read. They must have given him a whole loaf of bread and a half dozen chicken wings.
The signs are up for a reason. If you feed an alligator, bad things happen. Having nearly dealt with the business end of an alligator myself I can tell you they’re dead serious about their business. The signs are up for a reason, the *law* is there for a reason. By the way, you’re not suppose to feed most *wild* animals, here.
- Don’t feed the bobcats.
- Don’t feed the gators.
- Don’t feed the dolphins.
- Don’t feed the manatees.
Here’s an idea, don’t feed anything unless it barks and has four paws. If you feed anything else, it’s a no-no.
That “do not feed the alligator sign” is at the Trianon Hotel at the Promenade in front of Bonita Bay, Bonita Springs, Florida. If you’re looking for a safe place to get a look at a gator head out to the lake house and watch for the tourists whippin’ crap in the water. That’s where the gator would be.

I just had to say this is funny. It is not funny either because you would think that most people -understand- right? Maybe the sign should read “Please use common sense in general” but then that would be giving people too much, right? Wow, that is just wild.
Stupid people are everywhere. Here, folks think it’s cute to feed the deer or – worse – the bear.
I will admit, though – I am guilty of giving a chipmunk some muffin at Mt. St. Helens. He was so cute..I couldn’t resist.
Silly tourists! Were they really from Ohio? Or are you just picking on your birth place? As you know we just don’t have “exotic” animals in Ohio…
Nice commenting guys …. Stupid people are everywhere
