Florida man uses trash bin to catch alligator

https://www.fox13news.com/news/man-catches-gator-using-trash-bin?

MOUNT DORA, Fla. - A dramatic video shows a Florida man forcing an alligator into a garbage bin.

"Let me know when the head goes inside. Let me know! Somebody let me know when the head goes inside!" Eugene Bozzi is heard shouting.

"The weight of him was heavier than I thought he was," Bozzi said, "so I was thinking he kind of heavy, and then when I got him in there he was real strong, felt like a person was inside trying to hit the top trying to get out and I waited for him to calm down and it was done."

Trapper Isaac Rempe, with Affordable Wildlife Removal, says by doing this, Bozzi put himself and others in danger.

Who was the trespasser?

The test of the morality of the man's actions can be put to a simple test: Would it be just if the gator did the same thing to the man?

in South Carolina. Wally is a 12-foot gator who lives in the pond in their backyard. He has his favorite tree under which he lays to rest when not in the water, and basically doesn't bother anyone or anything. The family respects his space, and he respects theirs, so far anyway! Their home borders a golf course with many ponds and pretty much every pond has an occupant or two. The golf course management warns golfers of them, but takes no action against the gators because "they were there first".

(I have a great video of Wally, but am technically-challenged as far as how to transfer here.)

If Mr. BOZO had any brain cells, he would have just let his visitor merrily go on his way by himself. Dumb idea to force what would have transpired by doing nothing at all. Ya' can't fix stupid!
