Do you remember the time your mother used to tell you the story of Peter Pan, specifically the part where an alligator frequently chased Capt. Hook? Though the story is fictional, it has an uncanny similarity to a story published in USA Today about an airboat operator arrested for feeding the crocs. Since it is not natural for alligators to interact with humans, citizens and tourists are advised not to feed the crocs in the marshes and wetlands. The incident involving the airboat operator may raised some issues about the safety of airboat rides in Florida, so the authorities reminded the Everglades airboat rides operators the Section 667, Chapter 372 of the Florida Statutes that prohibits feeding wild alligators and crocodiles. This law seeks to protect both humans and gators from harming each other due to careless acts. So to avoid such incident in the future, it would be best to follow the law to a letter and tuck your hands inside the craft at all times.
