In addition to dietary concerns, alligators that are fed by humans learn to associate them with food and it makes them far more likely to approach and/or attack people. That puts other people in danger, and makes the alligators more likely to be killed based on their behavior. Jokes aside, you really shouldn't feed them anything.
it's a problem with other wild animals in other parts of the country. You're not supposed to feed Coyotes, cougars etc... ppl get killed and they'll hunt the animal down because they'll attack again. So yeah, this might be a funny story, but don't feed wild animals.

I find it extremely hilarious that Floridians deal with alligators attacking people because of bagels
