They are likely to face some significant penalties for harassing or killing a protected species within a national park. There is some speculation that the FAA might get involved as well.

124gr9mm 857 Posted September 3, 2021 I hope they face some kind of charges. I doubt that they intended to hurt the thing, but they absolutely wanted to get video of the gator chomping it out of the air. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
