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.
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.
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!!
3 Missing Students Found Safe After Night in Everglades

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”.
Washington Post publishes stuff like this and wonders why they have an income problem.
Unchecked gator growth is analogous to unchecked Muslim growth. The more one ignores it, the more innocent people will die.
Back about 1975 My wife and I and then two daughters lived in Gainesvile FL. We liked to hang around Lake Alice, a small, I believe, sinkhole derived lake that was full of gators. They were kept fed by all the students throwing them everything from sandwiches to dead animals and could be seen snoozing on the bank of the lake all around. We were all down there when the four year old got away from us and when I turned back around she was sitting on Albert, a 14 footer who had functioned as the mascot of UF for some years ever since he was a miniscule 10 feet long. I muttered a couple of profanities and walked deliberately over to her, smiling encouragingly to keep her from moving suddenly and picked her up and we left there. We didn’t visit Lake Alice again with the kids. Albert a year or so later choked to death on a medicine bottle someone had been dropped there or had been tossed to him.
Live in Alaska deal with Moose and Grizzlies, live in FL deal with gators and poisonous snakes.
