Alligator eats boy's pet turtle at aquarium

I'm not sure why this article amused/bemused me so much when I saw it a few weeks ago.  It might be the unfortunate coincidence that the boy happened to be at the aquarium the very day his poor turtle was devoured.  Or the quote, "Oh no alligator, let it go!"  Or the fact that the aquarium apologized to the family for what appears to be a solid lesson of, well, nature, and thinking that the kid would be consoled by a dolphin meet and greet.  Ah the traumas of childhood.
