Some people have been seen feeding gators, but that just encourages them to search for food out of the water. Not a good thing. And, once a gator is accustomed to leaving the water for food, it will be captured and killed. It is against the law to feed gators.
Last Saturday, a small (maybe 4 foot?) gator was caught and killed on my neighbor's front porch. We don't live anywhere near the water. It may be rare but it does happen.
