After the attack, animal control officers trapped and euthanized the gator, which had been a regular visitor at the Grounds’ backyard pond for a number of years. It had never acted in a threatening manner before, Grounds said. But in the future, he’s not letting Mandy take her morning constitutional stroll to the pond without her being on a leash



lets see you knew you had a gator and..... well SNAP!!!!!

That was an incredibly brave thing he did.

I hate that they had to destroy the gator though. They do that a lot here. If I had a swamp like that behind my house, I'd put up a fence!

I think hes amazing.. But youe entitled to your opinion. Although I wouldnt try to belittle him.

He did something that 90% of people wouldnt have done..

Theres coyotes, bears lynx and a crap load of other animals living VERY close to my house. And yet We still choose to hike with the dogs... If there was a bear living IN my yard, I wouldnt call about it. They would kill it. Maybe that is what he was trying to prevent. He does sound like an animal lover.. The dog may not have been allowed even remotely close to the place where the gator was.

Theres just to much that we dont know before we can go around calling this here an assh0le..
