and just another aside as to how foolish she was, the reason this happened was in her other hand she's holding the red feeding bucket
so the gator knows it's about to eat. This wasn't an aggressive attack, it was just chow time. That's why it's so excited when she opens the door to get in
not a great idea to put your hand on a gators muzzle when its waiting to be fed
anon... the whole thing went perfectly after the aligator latched on. Some dude who knows nothing was able to hold it down and everyone got off scot free, with the exception of some minor injury to her hand. The aligator bit because it thought it was being fed, and even let go without having to be harmed. Now a pitbull on the other hand will latch on to you just because you look at it funny, and it will thrash and shake regardless of being restrained, and it will also not let go without a bullet being put in its head. The only reason it is even a question between the two is because you are comparing a reptile longer than a man to a fricking dog.
well It was partially dumb luck she didn't lose that arm
by chance it happened to grab her palm up and rolled in the direction that allowed her arm to make a full rotation
it did break the bones in her forearm and require surgery though
Alligators are literally reptile-brained, and therefore very easily conditioned into a set sensory-input/response mechanic. They will behave the exact same way to a given set of circumstances every single time, and are thus predictable. If a human conditions them a certain way, and knows what he or she is doing, the alligator will never consider them a food or a threat.
Pitbulls are inbred to the point of mass-mental moronation/violent insanity being the default state for their "breed". This makes them unstable and totally unpredictable. Every single pitbull is a ticking time bomb that only needs one crossed wire, one out-of-the-usual neural stimulation to start mauling its owner, and starts predatory behavior for the nearest living thing smaller than itself every time it gets hungry.
you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about regarding gators. they are not trainable. there's been plenty of morons in florida that have been mauled by their pet gators that they had for years. their brains do not have the neuroplasticity needed for imparting certain behaviors on them. you're not going to overcome hundreds of millions of years of evolution because you subject them to certain conditions a couple times

Reptiles amaze me. Everything we’re told and shown is that they’re cold, heartless animals, purely driven by instinct. Yet there are actually bearded dragons and others that somehow “enjoy” being cuddled etc. by humans.
Reptiles are definitely smarter and more socially aware than people give them credit for, the biggest problem is that they're just so far removed from mammals that we can't really understand them. It's like trying to understand an alien.
They might not feel empathy, but if you’ve ever been around a bearded dragon you might be surprised by how interested they are in running up to you and watching your every movement. They remember their names and will choose to be beside the human they like rather than strangers, and they love watching TV or video games.
Which is even weirder when you consider that unlike alligators which raise their young for up to 3 years, bearded dragons are hatched entirely alone and live their lives in isolation.
Reptiles do have emotions, just not in the same “way” as mammals. Like the previous anon said, they’re just more alien to us. Snakes can experience anxiety, distress, excitement, fear, frustration, pain, stress, and suffering,
Hey now, I didn’t say they all experience it in the same way. Gators are basically dinosaurs.
Anyway, I highly doubt that it wouldn’t react at all if its arm was ripped off lol

Gators being chill makes sense. Having travelled to Florida, they seem to have their choice selection in food (waterfowl, turtles, fish). They probably fill up in the first 30 minutes after they wake up and spend the rest of the day straight chilling in the warm water.
When a human falls in a creek, they're probably like, shit, I'm already full. Guess this human gets to live.
wrong, gators are constantly hungry but they also dont need to eat a lot, like once a week, one of the perks of being cold blooded. now the problem with humans is theyre fricking huge, so they dont want to start shit with something "bigger" and if you dont pose yourself as territorial being, theyll leave you alone, and because they eat constantly you can train them pretty easily with positive reinforcement
Both are moronic choices if you don't know what your pet is capable of. And since a pitbull is more likely to be walked, and easier to buy, I'd say a pitbull is more likely to be dangerous to others. If it kills the owner, no one would care. Frick the naive bastards who keep creatures they cannot control.
They're actually somewaht intelligent, can respond to verbal commands, know their own names, and are (surprise surprise) very highly food motivated, that all adds up to an animal that's easy to train, yes.
That said, they've got a crazy food response and are still lethally dangerous even then.
statistically you are much more likely to be killed by a dog than an alligator, and alligators aren't dangerous if they're not in the water and you aren't antagonizing them
https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2007/apr/12/internationalnews >The lower left arm of zoo veterinarian Chang Po-yu was bitten off by a crocodile when he tried to pull a tranquilizer dart from its body. In a bid to rescue the arm two bullets were shot at the crocodile but it was unharmed. Chang eventually underwent emergency surgery to have his limb reattached.
The crocodile would frick you up, but the alligator is better. Now the thing with the pitbull is you're playing distorted rng, It could be fine until the day It dies or not, Alligator if hatched likely will not frick you up if you NEVER EVER frick up... Also something else but forgot so I'll say you're playing a roulette (pit) or a deal with an unflexible devil (alligator), then again the gator could just decide one day It wants to be wild, good luck.
>statistically you are much more likely to be killed by a dog than an alligator
yeah that's because there's orders of magnitudes more people owning dogs you fricking mental midget.
if you're crouching/lying on the ground and a gator is hungry, it WILL attack you, period. they attack shit based on how short they perceive it
>if you're crouching/lying on the ground and a gator is hungry, it WILL attack you, period.
Actually true. Visited a good friend who relocated to central FL after high school. We were exploring some marshes on the property of one of his buddy's. We saw a gator just chilling with his eyes above water about 40ish feet from the bank. He then went "watch this". He crouched down on the bank for about 30 seconds and then the gator saw him. It made a straight beeline for him, my friend stood up once it got close, and the gator instantly made a right angle turn from the bank like it was never even heading toward him
Pitbull by far. Those things can kill you.
this whole story is a complete clusterfrick

why am i not surprised
Imagine the lawsuit. I’d be rich and using that retried women’s master bedroom as my own.
I work with dogs and have literally never seen an aggressive one. They are kind of stupid, though.

The only problem with pitbulls is that we call them pitbulls. Call them Cerberus and then their proper place would be understood by more people.
Cerberus just means “Spotted”. It’s a cute dog name, not monster name or anything.

Gator no contest. PITBULLS aren’t aggressive
The only thing more dangerous than a pet pit bull is a pet Black person.
I wish had that webm of a guy calling an alligator and it runs up to him like a dog.
So wholesome but kinda creepy seeing a gator run like that.

They are cold blooded and like warmth. Reptiles do not feel empathy like a mammal. Don’t be fooled.
They might not feel empathy, but if you’ve ever been around a bearded dragon you might be surprised by how interested they are in running up to you and watching your every movement. They remember their names and will choose to be beside the human they like rather than strangers, and they love watching TV or video games.
Which is even weirder when you consider that unlike alligators which raise their young for up to 3 years, bearded dragons are hatched entirely alone and live their lives in isolation.
Their brains are missing huge areas that would control emotion and complex thought. That’s where reptile brain comes from. There is nothing there.
Reptiles do have emotions, just not in the same “way” as mammals. Like the previous anon said, they’re just more alien to us. Snakes can experience anxiety, distress, excitement, fear, frustration, pain, stress, and suffering,

What a chad
Sneed less, you gnostic freak. Snakes taught us the warmth of the hug when we lived in Arborea because they were not our enemies. They were respected.
pitbull because they are legal. some people don't see the danger in a pit while they do see it in an alligator
>not having an emotional support alligator
I genuinely wonder what goes on in this little buddy's mind throughout his day or whenever he's held
When's the last time you've heard of a family gator killing a baby? Or a person getting mauled by 3 unleashed gators?
if it did, they were asking for it, gators are surprisingly tolerant
Gators being chill makes sense. Having travelled to Florida, they seem to have their choice selection in food (waterfowl, turtles, fish). They probably fill up in the first 30 minutes after they wake up and spend the rest of the day straight chilling in the warm water.

Can gators be trained?
They're actually somewaht intelligent, can respond to verbal commands, know their own names, and are (surprise surprise) very highly food motivated, that all adds up to an animal that's easy to train, yes.
That said, they've got a crazy food response and are still lethally dangerous even then.
If you actually manage to form a bondship with a crocodilian they actually can be one of the chillest creatures you can hang around with.
That is IF you manage to befriend it.
I miss Pocho like you wouldn't believe.
statistically you are much more likely to be killed by a dog than an alligator, and alligators aren't dangerous if they're not in the water and you aren't antagonizing them

1) that’s a crocodile

Once again, Crocos are worse than Gators
Ah yeah thing I forgot is you need to be like with other reptiles, you need to form the bond as early as possible and that takes time
like they said IF you befriend It, if It doesn't see you as that, the moment It's big enough to kill you, you're playing with fire
>shrugs off two bullets like it's nothing
crocodiles are such fricking chads
>In a bid to rescue the arm two bullets were shot at the crocodile but it was unharmed
based
If you fall asleep or become incapacitated around an alligator it will
Immediately eat you.

Pitbull. People know alligators are dangerous and mostly treat them with the caution they deserve.
