Pisses me off they might kill the gator when it was in its own environment, doing what gators do!! Gators live in slow moving water, gators swim and gators bite! Why would you swim your butt into a gator’s house and expect to NOT get yo butt bit? Sheesh...
This applies to pretty much all except the little who was taken at Disney by a gator. That lake lizard never should have been there.
“...in its own environment, doing what gators do...”
It is common knowledge that if you go to Florida you can run into gators and snakes about anywhere. It has been determined that gators have been in Florida for around 8 million years and are well represented in the state with around 20 million people and 1.3 million gators.
“If there’s a body of water in Florida of almost any size, there could be an alligator in it, whether artificial or natural, big or small,” says James Perran Ross, associate scientist at UF-IFAS. So the possibility of a confrontation is well proven. And the people invaded their territory and should be careful of being discovered by one. It’s a no win situation.

How do you feel about the iguana infestation that is taking over S. Florida and moving northward?
I agree. This is Florida. That dude was dumb.
