But we have nothing to worry about. Irrational fears of something that never happens. Everybody needs to be "smarter". And carry a gun "just in case". It's so rare.
Yet, it happened. Again. Twice now in a week.
This could have been a child attacked. When that happens, maybe then people will realize taking action BEFORE another attack happens is the right thing to do here.

If an alligator attacked my wife or child, I, like anyone, would be devastated and angry and vengeful toward that gator. But I wouldn't advocate killing all alligators, any more than I would advocate killing all dogs because the family dog, for no known reason, savagely attacked my wife when she was a baby. (True story).
No one says alligator attacks never happen. What is said is that alligator attacks are far less frequent (rare) than dog attacks. Therefore, your singling out alligators over other animals with higher records of attacks makes no sense. You should start with the largest group of offenders first, don't you think?
