yes -- you're on to me now. Hafta go -- Carl Bernstein on line two.
Last year I posted that I saw Jessica Simpson at Bud and Alley's and the paparazzi contacted me for more info. Apparently, our gator and his story have a national appeal too.
A reporter contacted me and wants to know if he can utilize my photos and interview me for a story to run in the Washington DC area.
Without overanalyzing this I am inclined to give him whatever he wants.
That said, do you guys think this is contributing to what could end up being a story that could end up being harmful to tourism or at least that has the potential to scare masses of people?
Sharks, gators and snakes seem to bring out irrational emotions/fears.
Let me know your thoughts. I haven't responded yet to the reporter's request.

Hard call, anytime you deal with the public you are going to get opposing views and some will feel very strongly about those views even to the point of being rude in trying to shove their view down your throat.
Some will think saving the Gator is the thing to do and some will see him as nuisance that has the potentional to harm pets and children and even adults and needs to be destroyed before that happens.
Just don't be shocked at the reaction you may recieve.
At that risk of being rude and shoving my view down anyone's throat. I feel very strongly about my view. I do not see the need to destroy any living creature that is NOT harming anyone. I am not a lover of rats, snakes, spiders, or anything else that could possibly harm me. But I also don't want them all destroyed just because some may see them as a "nuisance" and could possibly hurt me or anyone else. I guess these same people would want all the sharks in the ocean destroyed as well, before they hurt someone. I just don't get it. Hell, I was attacked by a monkey, but I didn't want him destroyed. Still don't.
