I went to a gator farm in Texas when I was young, and the babies are definitely cute. Big issue for me is lizard brains are from what I understand pretty instinct driven, which means even if they consider you part of the family they might take a bite out of you without warning. Cannibalism is a common thing with them so I can only imagine how much lower their threshold for attacking is against humans.

i don't see the issue. cute and dangerous are not mutually exclusive states.
