Thats not cool. I dont see why anyone would get joy out of doing that. We already lose enuff getting killed to pythons trying to eat them and other wierd junk down south. Let alone they need to go take one and kill it. Not cool. Anywho as stupid as this sounds, when the heck were crocs native to FL cuse as far as I remeber learning about them, Alligators are native Crocs are not(?) I thought they were from Africa eating the animals as the run across the rivers or in Australia or something. Ne who that is still sad.
