You bring up an excellent point. I've seen first hand an ignorant individual stopping his car and getting his picture taken while he was bending over a gator who happened to stray from the golf course pond to near the road.
Two days later, trappers hooked him and used a bang stick. No, they do NOT relocate gators. If this attention doesn't die down considerably, I don't like Larrys chances of just being left alone.
