While...I hope Dave's comment was made in jest. While we all can appreciate the beauty of such an animal, it is nonetheless a wild animal. As the alligator becomes more comfortable around humans and the humans become more comfortable around such an alpha predator, the greater the inevitability of an attack. Such an occurrence will certainly result in serious injury or death. <br /><br />It is indeed unfortunate the loss of natural habitat suffered by the native alligator has caused such a difficult but dangerous situation. Nonetheless, that is the situation at hand and the residents, employees and others who often find themselves near the shoreline must be protected.ejs2283https://www.blogger.com/profile/07272803222210790043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392307124116993389.post-12204930012275770392010-12-19T22:33:57.889-05:002010-12-19T22:33:57.889-05:00I guess I'm just RUDE,not wishing
