More irrelevant animal footage

Analysis:

Another strange animal story pulled form a national news feed. Much like the WZZM 13 pieces on the “suicidal possum” or the “super freak calf”, this WOOD 8 piece is of no news value but is aired because of its compelling and unusual visual images.

Story:

Newsreader – There was a unique road hazard in Florida for the morning commute. A big alligator, right there, shut down a main road in West Palm Beach for about an hour this morning. A trapper was called in to tape the gator’s mouth shut and haul it away. Officers say that the gator did not threaten anyone; it was just sitting there in the middle of the road.
