Hint: they all do. They use pesticides. So do the warehouses and grocery
stores where the food goes before you buy it.

I know you're from Toronto and alligators aren't native there, but your
best bet *isn't* to try to "snap its neck" if you're ever in that
situation. Your best bet is to hold its jaws tightly closed (do NOT let
him open his jaws), move ashore or as close to land as possible, stay on
top, and scream for help. You're very unlikely to ever break its neck.
Its jaw muscles are much, much stronger contracting than opening --
you're lunch if he opens his mouth or if he can roll you beneath the
water, which is probably the next thing he'll try after being unable to
open his mouth.
