Oh. So with this reasoning, gators become nuisances only because residents and visitors leave their yard, and go to the edge of a retention pond, to sail their remote-control sailboats, throw in a fish line with their grandkids, or to see where their golf ball went (and also decide not to retrieve it because of gators or snakes).

So if a grandchild is playing in the yard with his grandpa and the child is not on a leash, it's the gator's right to go after the child and the gator is not a nuisance.

The value of human life is hitting new lows.
