Authorities say 69-year-old central Florida woman found an 8-foot long alligator prowling in her kitchen late Monday night.
Sandra Frosti says the gator must have pushed through the back porch screen door and then went inside through an open sliding glass door at her home in Oldsmar, just north of Tampa. It then apparently strolled through the living room, down a hall and into the kitchen.
A trapper with Animal Capture of Florida removed the alligator, which was cut by a plate that was knocked to the ground during the chaos. But no one inside the house was injured.
Can we slap some political significance on this? A global warming angle maybe? A Dr. Zaius-like warning about humans living where they don't belong? A suggestion this wouldn't have happened if Republican primary voters had gone for Rudy G.?
