SNIPPET OF THE DAY – AT 10:04 A.M. ET: 

MIAMI, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- A Florida man said his attempt to help an injured 8-foot alligator resulted in him being bitten on the arm and the reptile being euthanized.  Alexander Alcantare said he spotted the reptile Sunday in a canal behind his Miami home with an arrow lodged in its head, so he attempted to drag the alligator to shore, WFTV, Miami, reported Wednesday.  "And I saw it with an arrowhead lodged in its head. So, I figured, maybe you know, if I bait and hook it, you know, and see if they can take it out of its head," Alcantare said.

Rude, ungrateful alligators have become a national problem.  Schools just don't teach behavior any longer.
