Doofus Of The Day #607


Lesson #1 in dealing with large, carnivorous wild animals:  they are not pets, and are not trustworthy!

It seems that some airboat 'captains' in Florida have been ignoring that lesson.  One of them's just re-learned it the hard way, as this TV news report shows.




There's another (written) news report here with a few more details.

Repeat after me:  "Thou shalt not place thy bare hands, bearing food, in the immediate vicinity of an apex carnivore's mouth!"


*Sigh*

Shouldn't that be any carnivore? Not just an apex carnivore?

He got a stupid fine of $500 on top of losing his hand. Seems deserved to me.

This is why there is a law against feeding gators. But many of these tour operators want to impress their fares and get better tips so they break that law. He wins the ID-10-T award.
