That would be a great idea. The gator could help to keep some of the Newcomers from breaking into our country.

You call that big? I wrestle 12 foot gators just for exercise. Gets your heart going in the morning. Then I have some fresh fruit and sit on the porch for awhile.

Well, that one wildlife agent looks like Brontosaurus.

...and relocate it to a more suitable habitat far from the school.

Nope - not in Florida. Any gator harvested over 6 feet is killed. Under six, yes, can be relocated by the trapper. Guess they wanted it to be a feel good story.

A friend of mine, now passed, grew up poor on the periphery of the Everglades during WW II. He used to stand guard with a rifle when his younger brother and fiends were swimming and drew the interest of hungry gators. With dead aim, my friend frequently shot and killed a gator or two in that way and sold the gators to a local processor.

Gators are reptiles, not Dinosaurs. You got to wonder about the education level of this reporters.

Also, 12 feet is not that big a gator. There are much bigger ones in the Okefenokee. Of course, the Crocs in South Florida.....

LOL! This thread is retarded. It has attracted not only “Florida men”, but Florida-adjacents!
