Alexander Alcantare encountered an injured alligator near his home and was attempting to take matters into his own hands when the alligator attacked him. Previously he had lost an arm when rescuing some baby birds.
Because of his lost arm he failed to properly restrain the injured alligator. To add insult to injury Mr. Alcantare was later charged for possessing the alligator and the reptile was put down for attacking him.
Despite all Mr. Alcantare continued to remain philosophical about his ordeal stating “That´s what happens when you deal with wild animals, you´re going to get bitten,”
