Gator Story Clairified
BTW...wasn't it this Keen guy that first reported the gator to the authorities?[/quote]
Miss Kitty,
The Sherrif Department had been called the night before about the gator. They came out the next morning try to capture it. Keen happened to be walking out to the beach and saw the activity. He called the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge and the Walton Sun to make sure the alligator got a fair shake rather than just getting shot on the spot. Keen and George are buddies and coordinated the Fox interview that was going to be a "save the gator" campaign. By the time Fox was going on air with it, the gator had already been put down, so they changed the angle of the story.
