It was probably a great surprise to the Jack Russell Terrier that he occupies a position several steps from the top of the food chain. They are very confident dogs, generally speaking.

Sounds to me like the alligator made a deal with the ducks. ;-)

Dog. The other white meat.

Why did the gator have to be killed?

"The first thing I yelled was, 'Kathy, get a towel, because Gizmo's gonna be wet.' It didn't even come to my mind that there was even the gator there or didn't even notice him," explained Trudell. Helloooo; you live in Floridahhhhhh.
To: OnAMission
Sounds like a good deal. The alligator got a meal and the ducks have a little peace and quiet.

The gator preferred dog meat to duck meat?

#9..Seems to be the case.
We have ducks in our pond all the time, and occasionally a good 5 or 6 foot alligator.
....No ducks eaten around here!

A related story - about 5 years ago, the enviro whackos from Boston pushed an item on the ballot to eliminate trapping of small animals (beaver, fox etc). Well the effects have come home to roost. Just last week I hade a coyote in the back, and yesterday a fox. Never seen them in by 12 years here. In talking to people in the area we're literally being overrun by coyotes and fox. Lots of missing family pets.
The next thing I expect to see is a lot more sharks around the Nantucket sound and even a bit further north. There has been a major population of seals in the area, and where they go, sharks follow.

Why kill the alligator for doing what it does naturally?

Oh no, not Gizmo!
For some reason just typing that sentence seemed really funny. I guess you have to worry about the gators in Florida. I watch for the snapping turtles here in Texas. You would not believe how many one-legged ducks I've seen.

Dum-ass Trudell didnt realize every time he feed the messy ducks he was feeding the gator....To bad they killed the gator as he was probably there long before Trudell

Just when you thought it was safe to
go back in the water retire to Florida.

From
FWC website
If you need to report a nuisance alligator, call 1-866-FWC-GATOR (1-866-392-4286).
The Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program is administered by the Division of Hunting and Game Management through contracts between the Commission and nuisance alligator trappers. Approximately 40 private trappers are contracted to remove specific nuisance alligators. Individuals may call the toll-free number to submit complaints regarding nuisance alligators. The Commission will evaluate the complaint and determine if the alligator should be removed by a licensed nuisance alligator trapper. This program permits the harvest of alligators that are determined to be a threat to the welfare of the public, or the publics pets, livestock, or property.
In 2004, the Commission received 18,072 nuisance alligator complaints. Nuisance alligator trappers were issued 15,485 permits and tags and removed 7,352 nuisance alligators.

And extremely annoying.
To: ProudVet77
Yup, you have to have a Have-a-Heart trap in Massachusetts (I understand that law applies statewide) and relocate any trapped animals. My ex found a loophole; he relocated them to a well. :-)
