"Molest"? Is that actually a problem? I think it might be self-correcting. HopeHoops Jun 2012 #4

You have to remind some of these people not to wrestle the gators.

but I hate to see all those gators die. Gator Boys actually do wrestle them, picking up nuisance gators in Florida and relocating them. They're a little nuts but they also know the physicallimitations of alligators really well, how they can move and how they can't, how temperature and traction affect them, and how to tire them. It's pretty interesting. But it's hard to match the drama of "CHOOT 'im!"

Btw I know a WHOLE lot of people who have to keep a close eye on Sparky and Rover because a gator does love a meal of dog. Cats tend to be smart enough not to get caught.
