How very sad this poor Alligator needed somebody to love and care for him or her. Yours Sincerely Anthony Black.
HIS DEATH SHOULD be thoroughly investigated. Interesting that someone here said that his death was intentional! Wildlife is vulnerable indeed. Their should be laws protecting wildlife!!!!!!!!!!! Violators should pay for killing wildlife!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They must be arrested and charged with a jail sentence!!!! Naomi Semeniuk

AGREED!!! I think the S.O.B. did it on purpose, too. Humans are scum.
Floyd’s death should be considered no less important than any person’s and and search started to find the killer. How does one not see an alligator in the road?
100% 👍
So sad. I’m sorry for Floyd and all who cared about him. It’s unfortunate that animals have to share the world with such garbage like the individual who hit him and drove away. It’s amazing that more don’t turn on us.
Humans are the worst of all the mammal animals! So sad and I feel they hit him on purpose!!
