Safety experts say "All accidents are preventable."
The choice and action to remove every alligator will prevent another accidental death. Human life outweighs everything. I support that choice 100%.
Who do I blame for a human life being killed by an alligator? I blame the people who refused to mitigate the problem, and allowed it to be a problem.

You're welcome to find a solution to the other off-topic problems you highlighted. They are not relevant to solving the issue of alligators killing people near the villages man-made ponds.

Just curious - why do you value an alligator's life over an human life?
