Luckily, I don’t live where alligators do. When I was growing up in Florida, you could waterski all day without seeing one. Fat chance of that now!

A few months ago, my niece had one in her front yard. She has two kids, 6 and 4. They were playing outside. The alligator came right up to her garage, and fortunately, her husband got the children inside safely.

It was about 2 blocks away (as the crow flies) from where there was an alligator “incident” when a dog was killed by a gator just weeks before that one showed up in her yard. Of course, the dog-eating one was killed, but that second one must’ve been kin looking for a meal, too.

That’s too much for me.

I think you are safe. They are very docile (inafaggot English way.)

They will clamp on a cow or calf drinking. They are dangerous. Stay in your house.

You don’t try to make a species extinct just because you are afraid of it-you learn to stay out of the animal’s way, unless it is hunting season and you have a license. Or don’t live-or leave your pets out-near an area where there are any wild animals. Buy a condo in a city. Nature needs to be balanced to work right-that is why there are game wardens to keep fools from killing every wild animal in sight...
