Alligator Rips off Woman's Arm in Florida Canal
LEESBURG, Fla. September 26, 2012 (AP)
Authorities say an alligator ripped off an elderly woman's arm in a Florida canal.
Joy Hill, a spokeswoman with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, says the woman was in critical condition.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office identified the victim as 84-year-old Carol Hough of Leesburg.
Hough's neighbor, Delmas Zickefoose, told the Orlando Sentinel (http://thesent.nl/QxqdCn) that he saw Hough flailing in the 4-foot-deep canal that runs behind their mobile homes.
It wasn't clear how Hough ended up in the water.
The alligator will be killed so authorities can perform a necropsy, which is common procedure to make sure the animal won't attack again.
And the attacks aren't uncommon: a teenager lost part of his arm to a gator in July, and an airboat captain lost a hand while feeding one in June.

I would hope it can't attack again.
necropsy=an autopsy performed on an animal

I'm sure that's why they chose to kill it... to make sure.[:o)][:o)]
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Some idiot has fed that gator before by dumping a chicken carcass,.....etc.
They have a very small brain, and while they have a natural fear of humans in the wild, all it takes is to associate 'food' with how a human appears to them.

I'm still trying to see the relevance to my post, which was about media bias.

Excatly! Against the law to feed wild gators in a lot of areas...and a lot of times its the idiot enviro greenie animal do-gooder whacks that do it!
The gators end up needing to be killed because the chumps feed 'em and the gators become "friendly" w/humans, which = danger to humans...idiots...[;)]
