Wanting to rid the Villages of all gaters because just maybe someone will let there pooch or grandchild stand on the edge of a lake, Really.
My point is, too wipe out any species from this natural habitat is selfish, not protective. If a full grown alligator bites someone while they are dancing in one of the squares that is a problem. Have we had any gater attacks on dogs while they were at any of the DOG parks? You can't protect all people from their own stupidity.

No, Alligators in close contact with humans is
not good. Before long they lose their fear of humans and become a hazard to the pets
and young children of humans.
Do you realize what you are saying? You think we should tolerate gators in our ponds
at the risk of our grandchildren? There are 1.3 MILLION gators in Florida. They don't need to be in close proximity with us. And, it is impossible to clear all of the gators from our ponds and keep them out. We are not "wiping out the species."
If you tolerate gators in close proximity to humans too long, guess who's coming to dinner:
