I can understand the removal of nuisance aligators, but who said this one was one of them? There have been no complaints, so why kill this one? And why can't it be relocated due to it's size? Seems to me it could have been brought to Wakulla Springs. There are alligators there larger than that one, and plenty of room for one more. A zoo is another option. I would think that an agency that over-sees wildlife would try other avenues before allowing an animal to be killed.

Too bad we have this imaginary gator shortage. Otherwise, we could approach them with a 12-ga. shotgun. Political correctness and environmentalists have destroyed this country.
