    It warms my heart that there's at least some people out there who genuinely love and care about these beautiful animals. They don't deserve all this hate and abuse from humans. Just cause they're not fluffy and huggable doesn't mean they don't deserve love and respect.

      I mean they'd kill your kid and feel nothing...so yeah I think it is reasonable to not care about them. rest assured, they do not care about you. The only use of them is to teach us to appreciate morals and emotions

    This show is so important, I'm so happy about your honesty. I just moved to the Treasure Coast from NY and I was so afraid of every body of water, puddles even. I had actually said out loud that I didn't understand why we would protect such dangerous creatures. I know, bad thoughts but I was that afraid of them. I have learned so much from watching your videos, I no longer wish to destroy what I feared. Doesn't mean I'm ready to swim with them though. Much respect to you both.

    • @kitsune0rei
      @kitsune0rei 2 года назад +1

      I appreciate this. As a native I'm used to alligators, you assume they're in any body of water but they're not out to get you. Just take some precautions- don't walk small animals by the water, and don't feed them. But so many people who move are terrified of them, and I'm like just respect them and you'll probably rarely see them. They're honestly pretty chill.
      Our local nature walk has some gators, and if you're lucky you'll see the big ones or the babies. The more you understand things, the less scary they are. They come through our territory because we have taken so much of theirs.

    • @nicolegoodew1547
      @nicolegoodew1547 2 года назад +2

      They don't neuter the gators. The nests are usually fairly large so its easy to find them before the eggs hatch. If any eggs got the chance to hatch, they would definitely be eaten by the other gators, but the mother of any hatchling would become very aggressive towards other gators to protect them. Its why its so important for them to find the eggs as soon as possible and destroy them before an embryo forms. They can't release any of the gators in their care, which would include any babies. If they kept all the eggs and let them hatch, they wouldn't have any room. Its more ethical to destroy the eggs before they can hatch, especially since there is nothing in them immediately(like chicken eggs, you have to give it time before an embryo starts to form), than it is to allow them to be hatched normally and eaten, or over populate the rescue. A lot of things can go wrong with sterilization of animals, and the added stress of being caught then going through surgery would most likely kill these animals due to lactic acid. But thats just an educated guess. I'm not 100% sure if it would stress them out to that point, but he has said before theres a lot that could go wrong and they don't want to risk the safety of the animals
