Vague story. Nothing about the victim. Wonder if someone was trying to get a selfie with a gator?

That gator wasn't fed. That is why he grabbed a man. They don't eat every day.
The victim wasn't pestering the Gator. The word I got was he was trying to fix an irrigation system and wasn't aware of the alligator. The area is an old development and wasn't from any recent expansion. They are everywhere. After all it is coastal SC. Don't believe me? Then come golfing. |

Friend represented a guy for a WC case where he was golfing on a company outing and a 12’ gator grabbed him, pulled him in the water and ripped his arm off. To get their point across in court they bought a 12’ stuffed gator and brought it in the courtroom. They won.

FYI. This was the Gator that was on social media last year eating a 6-foot alligator. This dinosaur MF'er had hate in his heart.

Relocate it to South Florida Everglades. Let it wreak havok on the pythons.

My sparse information from some African safari books indicates that the larger the crocodile or aligator then the more likely it will consume the upright walking monkeys. So at what size does the DNR relocate or euthanize them? |

So at what size does the DNR relocate or euthanize them? I don't have a clue. I remember a 12 footer that was always laying in the road at night. FD used a tower and a 12 ft hook to move him one day. The gator was struck by a car a month later. |

They are required in all new subdivisions. The gators find them and make them a home. This is an older development from prior to my time. |

Now when those same bears are a “nuisance” they relocate them about 20 miles further inland as the crow flies, to near my house lol. |
