Now imagine putting us together in The Villages with such different understanding of nature, animals, etc. and you have these kind of variations on just what the right thing to do is and how big a variation they have even for the seemingly exact circumstance.

Well said....
Up here they shoot deer, in season, for venison meat.
To others, who love all animals, that might seem cruel.
Up here it is sport and it's called hunting season when all the guys go away to "camp" in November.
I would be in favor of saving the little dog vs. protecting the alligator.
Again, it could have been that man's grandchild toddling down to the water. Yes, parents should hold their hands.....but it's been known to happen.
I'm sure he feels much safer, for his entire family's welfare, with the alligator gone.
