Remember when a villagers dog was in the jaws of an alligator and the villager wrestled the dog out. Getting bit in the process.

Sure they have a right to live. Just not anywhere near me.

And he was playing in the water clearly posted as "No Swimming"...

His father sat there and watched him enter the water...

No one is suggesting "coddling" alligators... How 'bout we just leave them alone, and if they get too big (I believe TV has a size limitation), they can be removed and relocated...

That was in Ft Meyers, not TV...

Then don't buy a home in their habitat... :icon_wink:

Exactly. Well said.

Maybe we should have a fine for anyone feeding them also.
