Jill Never mind dogs, what about humans? There's a series on Animal Planet about some people who have a Florida refuge for 'gators. Some of those they "rescue" could easily consume an adult human! (And of course, there are the non-native reptiles like pythons - some as long as twelve feet - that irresponsible "pet owners" let loose in the Everglades when they grow too big to keep as pets.) Those folks with the sensational television shows should succumb to Darwinism. Ditto people with non-native snakes. But this isn't the Everglades and snakes like that aren't a problem around here. The alligators here aren't like crocodiles from the 1930's 'Tarzan' films, either. People don't bother them, they don't bother us. I called Security when a 'gater was in my yard a year or so ago. (My house isn't near one of those ponds or the marsh.) They sent someone to "relocate" it. Jill |
