Alligators are predators. That means they hunt other animals for food. When predators become too accustomed to having humans around and not fear them guess what, you become prey to them. To say that they were here first is a ludicrous statement. Bears were here before us so how happy would you be if a bear decided your lanai makes a great place to live and raid your kitchen. How about a water moccasin or cottonmouth likes your flower bed and sets up a den there? Skunks were here before us also. It would be quite aromatic if they decided to make a den beside your house! No problem, right?

Just thought about this. Rats and mice were here before us and so were termites, but people do their best to eliminate them. Remember they were here first!
