In Florida, a Bold Alligator Is a Dead One

Florida's alligators are back from the brink, though they're still federally protected. Which creates a problem, because South Florida is heavily populated and generally, people and alligators don't mix that well. People do feed them, and alligators get used to people, and eventually someone will get hurt or killed. Trappers have to capture them, and often they're killed. It stinks, but there's no other way.
