Lots of people have been hurt or killed by wild 'pets', everything from deer to snakes to junk yard women. If an animal with less obvious weapons, like a deer, can do you in, one with very obvious weapons, like gators and women, are extra dangerous. They're natural predators.

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
― George Orwell
