I agree, exterminate them all. We have other predators to do the job.
Get Bill Gates to vaccinate them to protect them, and that will get rid of them.
Or put them all on ventilators.

Yes, that would work too.
7/10. A very decent troll.

Alligators and crocodiles are not dinosaurs.
Can an alligator eat a bird, or can a bird eat an alligator?
Which birds are apex predators like alligators?
Alligators even have birds that pick their teeth for them. Who is more successful, the one who ate or the one who picks their teeth for scraps?
extract a virus from them and send it to china
I agree! They serve no purpose.
Don't live near crocodiles or alligators (whatever the heck the difference there is, I don't care).

Hmmm..
Crocodiles are dinosaurs.
The evolutionary difference between today's crocodile, and the thing that existed when it was called a dinosaur, is a two degree difference in an ankle joint or something. Crocodiles. Are. Dinosaurs.
I agree that you shouldn't be around them, any way or how. If there were dinosaurs in a valley in New Mexico or something, you wouldn't go there, right? Same thing.

If you live in Florida, you can't help but live near alligators. They're pretty much guaranteed in any body of water bigger than a small pond.
I wouldn't go to New Mexico's Dinosaur-Ridden Valley, nor to Florida.
Do the gators eat elderly people too? Why only kids and pets? Frail old people must be easy prey for them, and also the snakes.
They mainly avoid eating old people
They find the false teeth and hearing aids hard to digest
Good lord. Ok ... here goes:
1) Crocodiles don't live in Florida. Alligators live in Florida.
2) Crocodiles and alligators are separate related species, like wolves and foxes. Or chimps and orangutans.
3) Alligators and crocodiles aren't dinosaurs. Dinosaurs, pterosaurs, crocodilians, and birds are all members of a group of animals called archosaurs. Dinosaurs & pterosaurs went extinct; crocodilians & birds survived.
Sheesh. *rolls eyes*
I run (jog at my age) by gators here in Florida several times a week. I don't quite understand their metabolism, but they never seem to move much and sit still for hours. Now, snakes are a different matter. I have never been bit, but at the wrong time of year, I have had several snakes hiss and snap at me. Hey, I am on their path and the path is in the sun. By the way, I think Central and South Florida are lousy places to run, not just because of the gators. There are few paths and the ones there are often are short and full of reptile friends. The heat doesn't help. The local 5k and 10k times are really slow as a result.
What is puzzling to me is that one time Gainesville was a running hotspot as Liquori and Shorter were training there and running well. I think it would be a hard place to recruit long-distance guys. Just the heat and the sheer boredom of training in hot semi-swampy conditions.
"Good lord. Ok ... here goes:

Because the radical environmentalists have a sentimental attachment to them, just like they do with wolves, grizzly bears, whales, sea lions etc. They think we can return to 1700 and have perfect harmony in nature without interference by Mankind. In other words, they are idiots.
If you are so sympathetic towards alligators start a charity or something, call it Gatorade.

When I was a kid, you couldn't find an alligator unless it had already been made into a pair of boots. Now, you can't throw a rock into a puddle without hitting one of them. It wouldn't hurt to up the hunting quotas a bit.

What the ... I never heard of American crocodiles in the U.S. I stand corrected, thanks.
I was wrong! Okay, how wrong was I?
For full context, the American crocodile mainly lives in Mexico, Central America, northern South America, and the Caribbean Islands. In the very south of Florida only, there are approximately 1000-2000 only. Nowhere else in Fla or the U.S.
For comparison, there are 1.25 million alligators in Fla.
So, between 0.08% and 0.16% of the crocodilians in Fla are crocodiles, while about 99.84-99.92% are alligators.
Thanks again. I stand corrected.
