Okay, but we don't go around hunting down and killing every shark that shows up in waters where we swim. it's definitely their "surf," so to speak.

I vote for leaving the alligators alone when they wander unless they are directly menacing the residents. It can't hurt to wait a few hours to see if it leaves the area.
