Re: Rats and Alligators
mc....
maybe if you had a suggested action for your vent it would be a little more effective. We know you have a problem with this (who wouldn't), but you have not told us what you would like us to do. Call Who? What number? Say what? I wonder if once person received as many calls as views to this thread if they would feel compelled to get off their chair and do something. Maybe if you vented less and directed more, you could use this thread to solve a problem. Just a thought...... I agree with that other post, it is about taking action.....

Re: Rats and Alligators
jeckyl,
Welcome! The original issues at the Ashland pool have all been solved. This thread had been turned into how wrong it is to shoot one gator by people who bought into a hugh(I think too big and still growing)development that clear cut hundreds of acres and cuts down all the trees. How can you be upset about one gator when all of nature has been ruined to build hundreds of homes.? So -my problems were solved. The only problem I have now is to get this thread to stop!! |

I think this is the thread about Rats...and Alligators too.
This is the thread I referred to in discussion in the marginalization thread. FYI

Rats and aligators... by BEST MOM
BEST MOM was concerned about rats and aligators around the Ashland
pool and mailboxes. All the responses seemed to focus on aligators ... Aligators are a part of Florida, for sure . And maybe rats are too. However, I would consider rats a danger as they may carry rabies. I would think that The Villages would do something to get rid of them . |

Utube says that video is no longer available because the account has been "terminated." Sounds ominous to me.

This thread is now over two years old. In retrospect, I think Best Mom was absolutely correct. After removing my slightly rose tinted glasses, I have seen the rats around also.
 As for the gators, I still like to see them but am amazed at how many we have here in TV.

Rats are something usually associated in getto areas. In my 62 years living on LI, I can't ever remember seeing a rat in any place other than pet stores and at an old industrial building I used to work in. Rats scare me. I can't believe they are populated in the Villages. Ewwww.

We have a lot of wildlife preserves in TV. Rats, snakes, rabbits, feral cats, eagles, coyotes, and many large gators have been spotted .. and even the occasional black panther.
Maybe we should pave them over.

Been here eight years and have yet to see a rat and maybe a half dozen alligators and they were very small (4-5 ft,)
methinks folks are seeing things........... However I must be honest, I don't think you could see a gator because of all the dogs here....... I for one wouild not be opposed to a GATOR DOO RUN.......... fumar
