    Leave the alligator alone, that’s his home and we have no right to bother him!

    Maybe!!! parents should be parents and watch their children when swimming in Florida/Alabama lakes, rivers and ponds!

    William for wildlife being wildlife!!!

    REGARDING:
    “No reports of the alligator being aggressive.”

    True.

    Also no reports of any alligator ever NOT being aggressive if it loses its fear of people. To the alligator brain we are threats or food — one or the other. (Very binary thinking.)

    David for safe children

    So you sentence an alligator to death or live in captivity if so lucky for being in a lake. No reports of the alligator being aggressive. Way to abuse the nuisance alligator law. Dang shame when wildlife can’t be in a park.

    Not to be confused with Hurricane Lake in Northern Okaloosa County, which is full of alligators.
