State wildlife officials sent out a news release during the week, and Gov. John Bel Edwards tweeted about the subject Friday, writing, “It feels like we shouldn’t have to say this, y’all. But please don’t feed the alligators.” Wildlife biologists say feeding alligators makes them view people as an easy food source, increasing the chance that they’ll bite someone.
