The pond was not on his property. The dog should not have been off the leash.

In all probability an alligator removed by a licensed trapper will be harvested for its hide and edible meat. That's the payment to the trapper. Alligators are not an endangered species. Alligators abound; especially in Florida and Louisiana. What do you think is the source of the "gator tail bites" that are available on the menu down at R.J. Gators? It's like Ted Nugent says, "If you don't kill 'em, you can't grill 'em." In addition to the nuisance alligator program, Florida has an alligator harvest program. If you want to see alligators go to one of the tourist attractions that have them on display. Keep them out of The Villages, to the extent possible; you will never keep them all out. |

To my understanding an alligator is removed and destroyed if they display a loss of fear from humans usually due to illegal feeding and taunting by humans. Pretty much common sense if you know an alligator is in a body of water, admire from a distant and stay away. The pond or lake is the gators habitat, not your dog's or children.

I just enjoy watching nature and try to show respect for each animal's habitat. It amazes me how much wildlife shares TV!

There is quite a bit of wildlife here in TV with all the birds, turtles, gators, and other creatures.

Oh. Yeah. Not arguring that point. Believe me. I'm only well aware personal responsibility and common sense have went bye bye a long time ago with our society. No surprise at all. See it more and more.

I don't believe there is any active 'hunt' for gators in TV. If so then they do a bad job. I see gators at least once a week while playing golf. Saw a small one just last night at Bonita exec. I don't believe a gator has ever harmed a human in TV. Let them be. We live in FLORIDA after all.

I believe you are right Russ I've never heard of any instances here in TV. It just bothers me when people believe animals should be destroyed because they are an inconvienence by their basic presence.
