So "they were here first" is not true.
With millions of alligators in Florida, getting rid of every one here wouldn't make any dent in the population. There even stupid people, doing stupid tings, would not be at risk. Even smart people, who are walking on trails with their dogs on a leash, wouldn't have to fear an unprovoked gator attack
