@fox9mn: A Florida vacationer learned a tough lesson in karma when an alligator, which she tried to ward off from deer, made off with her shoe instead. Sarah Louise Martin witnessed the scene unfold by a lake as an onlooker threw her sliders at the gator to protect the deer. While the alligator was deterred, it quickly grabbed a shoe before disappearing, prompting Martin to warn others on TikTok against throwing objects at animals.
