another ice age coming

So "they were here first" is not true.
With millions of alligators in Florida, getting rid of every one here wouldn't make any dent in the population. There even stupid people, doing stupid tings, would not be at risk. Even smart people, who are walking on trails with their dogs on a leash, wouldn't have to fear an unprovoked gator attack

No gators in the retention ponds? So, did the developer bus them in for the ambience, or did they walk in? And the fish that are in the ponds. And the bobcats, coyotes and possums and frogs and turtles? Guess we should get rid of the retention ponds and no more wildlife to frighten us and make us shiver in our boots.
Yeah! I like the way you think. Let's pave paradise and put up a parking lot. 🤔🫠🙃

Yep. Let's get rid of all the retention ponds. Then when it rains let me know how you like all that water in your house. And where do the gators go? Where the water is. So would you rather have the alligators in a pond or in your house?

Using your thougt process, if a gator did actually make a meal out of some stupid person doing stupid "tings", not only would it not make a dent in the ever increasing human population, but it would raise the average IQ.
Oh, let's all go down to the water.....

If we all chain a gator to the front porch post that would cut down on door knockers selling water treatment systems.

WOW! That is pure Genius! Wish I had thought of that.
How large would you suggest? Dog food or cat food? And do they prefer the dog or cat dead or alive? (Don't get yer knickers in a twist, pet owners. It is only a joke!)

I was saying how stupid the statement "they were here first" is. It is a false narrative to try to justify an invalid argument.
Maybe they were on earth first, but not in the retention ponds. Humans were at these ponds first.

I want them all gone. Allow trappers to grab as many as they want, anytime between sunrise and sunset.

The claims walking through yards basically fault. I sure few (very few happened) the problems people think they own right down to retention pond, they don’t. when retention pond has public access and no fishing sign posted it can be fished. Public access would be retention pond next to public street. Or behind postal station. No interior golf course ponds, no retention pound surrounded by private property, no fishing were signs are posted. IMO anybody the would dare eat fish out of villages retention ponds might brave or hungry sole. The villages has rules on fishing retention ponds

You want what gone? Ponds, or humans? And what or who are the trappers gonna grab? And what does sunrise and sunset have to do with anything?

Not all humans were at these ponds first. I know the gators have been in the ponds longer than I've been in TV. And I bet gators have been here longer than you. So, did you really not know there were gators here? Did the sales reps not warn you? "By the way M. Maker, if you don't like alligators, you shouldn't buy a home in TV."

And you want them all gone. Call their manager!

If you have to walk across private property to get to a pond it is not a fishable pond. All fishable ponds have public access to them.
