Disturbing video shows Florida teen chugging Twisted Tea with baby gator attached to can
What's your first reaction? Seeing that video? Stupidity. And I can see multiple things in there. It's just wrong, you wrong possession of it wrong to just drop it on the hot pavement like that. This video taken Thursday began circulating around social media. It shows *** teen holding an alligator in the air while chugging *** twisted T and my opinion, everybody, they got video that touched, it needs to be brought in front of *** judge and then the judge needs to take some serious points of views to use them for an example that this has got to stop Vernon Yates is the president of Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation. He thinks there's more to this story than just what was captured in this 15 2nd video. He's not very lively. Normally *** little alligator about that size man. When he hit the ground, he should have hit it running. And so what's your message to those teens? To those teens? There's got to be something better they could be doing with their time than sides torment and some poor little alligator. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission opened an investigation which led to one of the teens being charged for taking the alligator without *** permit. The FWC released *** statement saying in part, the lack of respect and responsibility shown toward this animal was disappointing to see. They went on to say this serves as *** strong reminder of the consequences of such behavior.
