Dangerous Jobs

Last year, blogger Carol Weaver reported on America’s unusual and dangerous jobs. Here is one of her blogs:

“I’m driving through Fort Lauderdale, Florida with two alligator catchers; Ryan and his 17-year-old daughter Jenny. It’s a hot Saturday afternoon, and most people want to relax in their swimming pools. The problem is that alligators like swimming pools, too!

There are 1.3 million alligators in the rivers and canals of Florida. They often get into swimming pools to stay cool. Ryan stops the van outside a big, expensive house. In the pool, there is a three-metre alligator!

Slowly, Ryan puts a rope around the alligator’s mouth. He is so brave. Then Jenny and Ryan pull it out of the pool. Tomorrow, they will take the alligator to the Florida Everglades National Park- far away from people.”
