Alligator attacks are EXTREMELY rare, and generally-speaking the only time a gator becomes a problem is because ignorant people feed them and they lose their fear of man. Every puddle of water in Florida has an alligator (or 10) in it...they are just not a problem.
Statistically speaking, dogs and cows kill/injure WAY more humans every year than alligators, but hey, keep up the fear mongering...
