Larry touched on another problem that occurs all too often and is much easier to prevent: dog feces in the public areas. I have not observed many dogs running free, so that doggie doo must be coming from dogs being walked by their owners. As distasteful as it may seem, let's all make an extra effort to police up after our mongrels. Less food means less rats and one problem partially solved.

As far as our colorul gators go, Northerners new to Florida shouldn't be overly concerned about the gators eating your pets. I would imagine the incidences of gators gobbling up pets on leashes are as rare as UFO sightings.
