I see no reasonable argument for not making the Villages safe from dangerous wildlife, when there is absolutely no threat of causing an extinction of a species. I have no doubt that IF/IF coyotes become a dangerous nuisance, that some action would be taken to alleviate that problem. When mosquitoes became a problem here, they started periodic spraying. If we started having frequent bear incursions that posed threats then they would be removed without a complaint.

How do you think the gators got here, if not via the MASSIVE amount of wetlands surrounding TV? Do you think they stocked the lakes with them? What about the giant snapping turtles in the waters of Sumter Landing?
What about the dangerous snakes? Remove all of them? The bobcats?
Where do you stop?
What you fail to comprehend is that the alligators are NOT a problem, unless someone does something stupid. Just like everything else in life.
Don't drive 100 mph on a rainy night, with your lights off and chances are you won't get hurt.
Don't dive into shallow water and chances are, you won't break your neck.
I know TV is jokingly called "The Bubble". But in reality, one cannot live inside a bubble...
