Why do people love to shoot alligator pictures? I wish they could all be shot at birth. I see nothing cute or good about them. I don't get it.

All things alive should be appreciated.

He is quite impressive. Great shot! Still, I prefer them in the water (when I’m on the grass).

Simply admire these dinosaurs, They were here before us and will be here after we are gone. Unless you want to mate with one just leave them alone.

No different than shooting pix of birds and other wildlife.

New Floridians soon learn that even the smallest puddle is usually home to a ‘gator.

You want to eliminate the alligators. They were here first. Remember, they do keep many poisonous and nasty snakes at bay. They are beautiful reptiles.. on a mission.
