Gators do help the environment. But, dogs are a huge help with people's mental health. Cannot say that of alligators. Not sure how much they help with man-made lakes and ponds.
One person's "emotional support animal" is another person's source of anxiety. As for alligators, living surrounded by an abundance of wildlife is good for you. It enriches your life and that is good for your mental health.
As for the dog off leash that got killed. That is 100% the fault of the dogs owner. Owners are responsible for their pets, where they go, who they go with and what they are exposed to. Poor dog, poor gator, bad owner.
