Florida has a gator problem. The animals live and walk among us, close to us. They live in our lakes and reservoirs and swamps, and we set up our businesses and parks around them, as if nothing will ever happen.

Two solutions:
1. Kill the gators
2. Proper parenting
Gee, so hard.
I’ve heard this morning there’s been 26 gator attacks since 1946 (approximate). But that doesn’t stop the Left and the helicopters from circling hysterically. I even heard Laura Ingraham’s fill in screaming about this.
A tragedy no doubt but if the sign says ‘No Swimming’ it means no swimming.
There are plenty of democrats who’d make suitable gator food.

This isn’t anything new, it’s been going on for years. If I were in Fla. I wouldn’t take a child anywhere near any fresh water body or pond.
Why not both?
I don’t think the idea their needs to be some response is not ridiculous.
I don’t see why Disney couldn’t chain-fence off at under-water canals and above water around the lagoon to keep the alligators out.
most attacks seem to involve drunk people falling into canals after dark.
That’s cause they don’t thin the population. Used to in the 1950s go gator hunting and thin those rascals out, not any more, it’s not politically correct.
Now we got gators everywhere I look, and they are hungry.
Went kayaking down an inter coastal creek and almost got eaten alive.
They are all over the golf coarse. They are one nasty group of reptiles.
They need thinned out. Sell their hides. Make food out of them. Grind them up and make oil. I don’t care, just get rid of some of the basturds.
Do gators have any necessary place in the eco system? As far as I know they’re only good for purses, shoes, belt and wallets.
"Civilization" is what we call it when wild animals are not a threat to us. We eliminate them from our habitat so they don't eat us, our children or our livestock. Unfortunately human society has decided that wild animals should live among us. Interestingly this goes part in parcel as people turn against God:
Lev 26:22:'I will let loose among you the beasts of the field, which will bereave you of your children and destroy your cattle and reduce your number so that your roads lie deserted.
When you have alligators....make boots!!
“Block that double negative...”
I don’t think the idea there needs to be some response is ridiculous.

The difference is, they were once aggressively hunted and killed, and had a fear of humans as a result. That’s not the case now. Combine that with tourists who don’t understand the threat, some of whom actually feed the alligators, and you increasingly will have a problem. Large predators need to be removed from areas of human habitation, and they need to have a fear of humans. This means hunting them and killing them. If that upsets fans of wildlife and environmentalists, well, the truth is sometimes ugly.
I saw the photos from the chopper. A playground and sand beach with lifeguards where there are wild gators? Who set this up? I see lawsuits. I could not put a pool on my property without a fence but some city planner signed off on this “gator feeding station”.
