We have many gators in our village and it's surprising that this has not happened before. I see golfers walk down to the water to retrieve golf balls and they can't see the big gator twenty feet away.
I'm glad that Steve's dog is safe. I'm glad that Steve is safe. I'm just saying that this gator shouldn't have had to die for doing what is in his wildlife nature. Steve let his dog run loose, and now the gator is dead. I just can't see making a trophy out of this episode. My honest opinion. We have a responsibility to all animals, domestic and wild.
