Folks need to wake up (not WOKE) and realize that if we want to exist, we have to step on ants, kill plants and animals in order to eat, etc. If gators present a danger then they need to be removed, whether someone wishes to move them to another, safer environment or just destroy them. This is a residential community, not a wildlife sanctuary.
Alligators are an essential part of the ecosystem in Florida. Actually, they never present a danger to anyone! It's ignorant people who put themselves, their children and pets in harms way. It is quite easy to co-exist with wildlife here and anywhere else. Sadly, they get the short end of the stick.
