Yep, I use to release field mice as well so I guess that tells you where I stand on the murder of a gator sunning himself.

That's funny!!!!!!!

I knew a woman who stored bird feed, etc in her garage and discovered a cut little mouse that was very playful. so she let it be and be it did over and over and over until she was over run with the plural of mouse and had to call in an expert to deal with her playful problem mouse and his/her offspring that sprung out of control.

Alligators are not welcome guests on my lawn. so the very second I saw such a critter I's be on the phone telling Turtle Man to do his magic

My vote is to leave the Alligator alone he/she will hit the road soon enough, win/win, enjoy nature while it's there. It is a tale to tell leave it alone.

Hi gerryann: I am up about two houses from a pond. My neighbors who live around the pond get visit by many undesirable critters. One of my neighbors who loves animals had an alligator in her back yard that she let be until the alligator attempted to break through her lanai screen to get at her little dog after the second attempt she called the Turtle Man

Sadly but you probably signed the alligators death warrant... unless it is very small.

I applaud your neighbor for trying. At least she gave it a shot at letting nature take its course.

Hi CFrances: If nature had taken its course the alligator would have devoured that dog and every dog around that pond. My neighbor loves animals feeds the ducks ,etc Me I love people so we feed them. Fortunately Mrs. Rubicon is an excellent cook and very comfortable in the kitchen. She looks so sexy in her apron


Personal Best Regards

Really? She waited for a second attempt? That's kind of like having a hornet's nest under your eaves and waiting until you get bitten to spray it.
