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.
You fail to acknowledge what we DO when there are sharks in the water. --- WE GET OUT. That's not an acceptable option where we live. We are a geographically large area. Just because a gator moves out of your sight that doesn't mean he's "left the area."

If it weren't for the trappers work, how many hundreds of gators might be in The Villages right now?

I'll pose my question again: How many gators per block would we have to be infested with to reach a number to get you to agree to start removing them?

I like your play on words, using surf where we would ordinarily say turf.
