Sometimes the public PRESSURE overrides "common sense". Recent example might be train derailment in Ohio. "Officials" sometimes give "too much" weight to public pressure and this results in an OVER REACTION. In my opinion that is what happened here. As odd as it seems, sometimes an OVER REACTION, like in this case killing or removing ALL gators, will placate the masses ! ? No, it does not make "sense", but oddly enough it will usually serve to calm the emotions of the angry, frustrated, and fearful people.
Over reaction of train derailment? Hmm and what exactly was that point thrown out for, has so much correlation to an alligator attack on a woman, keep your politics...and no I don't agree to placating the masses, but apparently it wasn't your home or family there..
