Ya'll just bump those amenity fees up and hire some trappers to make your pretend wildlife sanctuaries even more void of life.
I don't think there are "many" people that want the locals to hunt and remove alligators from their ponds, no one around our pond feels that way, we all enjoy seeing them swim around and sun themselves on the shoreline. However we certainly would not want anyone walking through our yards to go fishing in the pond.
