In The News.....

FORT MYERS, Fla. May 10, 2006 (AP)— An elderly woman, who was bitten by an alligator while working in her backyard, beat back the reptile with a garden hose.

Constance Gittles, 74, of south Punta Gorda was watering plants Tuesday when a nearly 6-foot-long alligator bit her leg just above the ankle.

"I just whacked him right in the snout with the nozzle," she said. "After that, he took off," Gittles told the News-Press of Fort Myers.

Gittles received three puncture wounds and some smaller scrapes and abrasions from her confrontation with the alligator.

Now I just read that of course, they are gonna kill the thing. What the hell, the animal does what it is naturally programmed to do and then we kill it.

Humans suck ass.

As someone who used to live in Ft.Myers, I can say I'm not even a little surpised that some blue haired old broad managed to beat down a gator.
I heard stories of people finding gators that haved consumed their pets, and actually retrievin them!

I thought this one would hit home for you PJ. I figured youd have at least a little story.
