There are plenty of National wildlife refuges around The Villages to relocate LARGE GATORS. Personally, I think that ANY Gator over 3ft should be relocated to restaurants to be eaten by humans. The large Gators are dangerous to ANY Villager that engages in outdoor activities like fishing, canoeing, or even just walking near any lake.

In some cases, people's favorite dog or cat.

Exactly as they should be. They are NOT cute and wonderful animals when living close to dense human populations like in The Villages. They are natures KILLING machines and have a right to exist, but in wilderness areas, NOT here in The Villages. Suppose they drown and eat someone's little GRANDDAUGHTER? What then? Will I forgive the GATOR or The Villagers that fed them and did NOT report them? NO,NO,NO I will NOT !!!!!!!

What amazing creatures living among us!

I care to DISAGREE........like by 180 degrees.

That logic makes a lot of sense to me. If people have this irresistible URGE to see GATORS up close, they can arrange for a GUIDED and SAFE tour by a GUIDE into a nearby wilderness area.

People from up North do NOT have dog-killing-machines-of-nature living in THEIR northern lakes. Many don't realize the DANGER near FLORIDA lakes and ASSUME that The Villages are inherently safe EVERYWHERE. Others assume that no one would be crazy enough to FEED local GATORS and pretend that they are cute and harmless creatures.
