(no laughing at the back there please). There was a sighting in Nov 2005 in Stroud waterway in Glos. and a sighting in the Newcastle area( but I have been unable to obtain an accurate date)and in the Birmingham area. The one in Stroud was presumed to be an escaped pet and the winter probably killed the poor thing off as we had snow all over the country this year.I would think any creature from warmer climes would struggle to survive in the Newcastle area.It's seems like out of place animals are appearing everywhere.

We have a short gator-hunting season, and a relatively tiny # of licenses issued (about 1/10th of 1% of the gator population). I'd quadruple that this year, why not?

The Wife saw a gator catch a full-grown chow. It stalked the dog for over a week before making it's move. The catch was over so quickly that the chow only had time to squeak as it's ribcage was crushed. The gator was later shot and killed. In general, Florida does not have signs warning folks about gators. The silver springs attraction, highway A! (at the glades), and KSFC are the only places I can recall having seen warning signs. The previous poster was right. Australia has lots more warnings about crocs than does Florida. Shitzu’s and teacup poodles privide an essential source of protein to the gator population of florida.

EVERYONE there knows that freshwater=gators...its a simple equation. a lot of the attacks happen when people get to close to them and the gator reacts or they( on heaven knows why) go swimming in the fresh water. i know that it is mating season, and u have to be careful and look out your door. i lived for a year in an RV in a lot that was right on the river, and had to look out every time i went outside. common sense. i lived in florida for a time, in fact i just moved away form the i november.

Surely if people live among alligators or other dangerous animals they learn to avoid them? Personnaly I'm on the alligators side, it was their home first. my cats are neutered but they still kill mice and birds. however they do eat them…and I then have to worm them .

I mean they kill for apparent "pleasure" (much like people) as opposed to food, because all the cats I've seen drag snakes and lizards onto the front porch were well fed pets. They shed on everything too, go feral in areas where they can have a devestating impact on native rodents and birds... I imagine I will be the one receiving heat for this but, any unspayed/neutered cats running lose SHOULD be rounded up and put to sleep.
