One preventable death is too many.

Insanity is doing the same things and expecting a different result. It's time to do something different so we avoid another unnecessary death.
Get rid of every alligator now.
There are plenty elsewhere. Sad that action wasn't taken already, and someone would still be alive.

This is a community of humans, not a zoo. Alligators are a real danger to all of us. Removing them would make this a safer place to live and enjoy. Leaving them here will only lead to another death.

I dare everyone who says "leave them here" to go the the person's funeral, and look their family in their eyes and tell them how alligators are more important than human life. More important than their loved one. Stand there and watch the family cry. Feel their grief. Then tell them how she should have known better. See how that goes.
I missed the news about granny being killed in the Villages. Care to share a link??

If granny stands on the train tracks and gets hit do we blame the trains? If granny steps into traffic and gets hit do we blame the cars? If granny stands at the water’s edge and watches an alligator swim towards her do we blame the alligator? Choices and actions have consequences.
