An alligator named Mickey killed a pit bull in Florida and now he is being unfairly hunted. The pit bull (named Kevin) tried taking Mickey's bone. Where were the parents? This is not Mickey's fault! He was just doing what alligators do. Blame the hater, not the gator!!!

Wildlife officials report 12 people were bitten by alligators in Florida last year. Five of those bites were considered minor, seven were major and none was fatal.

Actually, more people are bitten and killed by pit bulls every year. Thank you Mickey the Gator!

Wildlife officials are still actively tracking Mickey despite the clear context of this incident. Email your local representatives today to demand they call off the search and stop targeting native wildlife for natural behaviors. Post this link on your Facebook wall to ensure our neighbors know Mickey is being unfairly scapegoated.

The momentum behind Mickey is growing and it proves that people see the truth about this situation. Send the link to your local representatives today and tell them to call off the hunt immediately.

Mickey was just guarding his eggs. He's a good dad. I have a alligator - she is swete. SHe loves me and my grandchildren. They beat her with clubs and she just smiles. Woulndt hurt a fly! Gaters are amfibbiens are live in water. Pit bulls are land animals and shouldn't be messing with them that dwell in the water!

Mickey probably just wanted to play, and the racist pit bull said Heck no you fn snaggletooth! and hurt his feelings, then God punished the pit bull for its racism by drowning it.
