Yep, I am out there a good bit and have seen some people act very silly when they see a gator, even try to get pics with their kids near a gator, its like all common sense goes out the window.
St Martin Parish actually has an ordinance where feeding alligators is illegal also, so if you see it again you can report it if you want. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but when an 8' alligator associates people with food, its never good, especially when kids are involved
The parents are candidates for the Darwin Award, but the kids don't deserve it
