I'd get it removed. If it is harvested, the harvester will slaughter it and sell the meat. I just bought some locally for a Cajun zydeco potluck.
There is an alligator industry, thankfully. Harvesting was illegal for many years due to low population. They are BACK!!!
Harvesting is regulated carefully and statistically to regulate the population.
