Leashed, tethered, muzzled, indoors, outdoors, in the car, very small, too nice, ..... none of that matters.

If protecting human life is the most important consideration then an animal that causes deaths at a rate 90 times what an alligator does certainly needs to be dealt with first.

No alligators have killed a person in the Villages, can the same be said for dogs, have there been zero deaths by dog bite in the Villages? (I really don't know that answer)
