Law of unintended consequences... allow Crocs to flourish, and they’ll start eating family dogs....

Liberals got upset by the wolf hunts in Alaska... but stop hunting wolves, and the Caribou population will be wiped out..

are there any grown ups left in the conservation movement?

My dear hubby wants to retire there and I hate crocs.
All kinds of crocs.

I guess it depends on the dog.

This dog?


I'm guessin' crocs aren't much of a threat.

We worry about the outdoor cats in the neighborhood, just 5 miles from the Everglades. Anything could show up in the backyard canal.

I understand that the cute little lizards are quicky disappearing too — the 4-inch long guys who scamper around the yard. Apparently larger imported and far less adorable lizards are eating them.

What next? Komodo Dragons? Perhaps Barry Soetoro is importing them from his old homeland, Indonesia.

I don’t like alligators either or large lizards. I like
furry critters.

Welcome to life near the wild animals. They might or might not be pretty, but they’re never your friend. Make sure your yard is secure from animals, keep the dog in and the wild out.

I would not go into, nor will I allow my dogs to go into ANY fresh water (other than a swimming pool) here in S. FL. Perhaps a little too cautious, but I’ve seen gators in the canal near us, and we live in town.

The article said — Florida has more than a million alligators, but crocodiles are establishing an increasingly ominous presence in brackish coastal areas, where habitat restoration and protection have allowed for a population boom.

Time to declare humans an endangered species, in that area...

I remember a story when an alligator rang someone’s front doorbell. They must have needed a bucket when they opened that door!
