Man Shoots Alligator in Michigan Which Lunged at Him While Fishing
An alligator should be the last thing you need to worry about while fishing in Michigan.
A man was collecting bait minnows in Tuscola County, Michigan when he heard a hissing sound behind him. At first he thought it was a opossum or a snake, but when he turned around he found a 6 foot alligator. The man was carrying a pistol at the time which he used to shoot the alligator after it lunged at him.
The Tuscola County Sheriff’s office said the gator escaped from a nearby exotic animal sanctuary. Encountering alligators in the wild is becoming a more common occurrence in Michigan. There have already been six incidents this year in the state.
At least we don’t have monsters like these in the Mitten

These people that have any dangerous exotic’s should be heavily fined and loss privileges/licensing of having such if that dangerous exotic can’t be handled or contained in their ownership.
