Thought of this thread after hearing in the news early this morning about an elderly woman down near St. Pete (I think) who was walking near a pond and a gator "flew" out quickly and attacked her. A passerby was able to save her but the gator got her leg. NOT good!!! People can think they're harmless, but they are not! That's why the warnings to golfers (and others) about not going near the ponds. I for one think it was fine that that gator was seized. Perhaps his demise could have been taken elsewhere. They're the wild animals who have had us invade their environment...for the most part.
