'Alligators are very adaptable,'' Hord said. ``They are happy to live with us..."
As long as we don't mind being breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Why are only women being killed? Why isn't NOW doing something about this?

The truth of the matter is that they are no longer endangered, period! They are a nuisance and more than that they are dangerous. They need thinning out but the bleeding hearts & the nutcases won't let us kill them. One can only hope that they're the ones that get eaten.

Maybe they will let us civilians "harvest" a few. Gator tails were made for barbecuing.
Right now only hunters with special permits are allowed to take a certain number of them each season.
On a dark night on the water, you shine your flashlight into the darkness and just about everything looking back (reflective eyes like cats) at you is a gator and they are definitely getting more numerous. Contrary to what some believe, the gators don't ruin the fishing...they actually help it by getting rid of "rough" fish like gar, carp, and bowfin.

The gators are not endangered.
Women with families inside of their homes are endangered !
We need to allow expanded hunting.

Gator hunters should be given a break on hunting.
Same for wolves, bears, mountain lions...all around the nation.

I kinda like the gators down here. They help thin out the feral cat population near the lake...
To: george76
It reminds me of the "shark summer" we were having back in 2001 before bigger events took place.
I guess the gators are just in the media spotlight right now.

The Gators are in violation of the VAWAA. (Violence Against Women by Alligators Act.)

Hubby, who many jokingly refer to as Jim from Wild Kingdom, believes it is mating season for the alligators and suspects they are attracted/distracted by any species of female.

The gators were looking for food...not sex.

Women with families inside of their homes are endangered ! We need to allow expanded hunting.I agree. Or at least 'self defense'. I'm still a little surprised that the gator could come through her doggie door, repeatedly, and when she shoots it (not killing it, even), she is given a warning about gator hunting. LOL, it's hardly 'hunting' if you're defending yourself from it's attacks inside your home!
