If a gator bites...relocate it to another swamp

Regardless of what predator and in what state, the response from the fish and game people is the same mantra after any attack:

An incident of an alligator attacking a person is "extremely rare, in my mind," said Lance Campbell of Wildlife and Fisheries.
