THAT MUST BE NAPLES FLA? I CAN'T SEE THE STATE, BUT I FOR ONE THINK THEY ARE NUTS TO ALLOW GATERS TO RUN LOOSE RIGHT AMONG THE PEOPLE. I was living in Tampa and gators were allowed in the swamp right behind the apt complex i was in at the time, and one day one of them got ahold of my little dachshund, and I heard the dog crying and I was calling to him as loud as I could when finally he came out from behind the apt, with blood all over him, i was scared to death seeing him, I put him in the car and rushed him to the vet, but it was not as bad as I feared, the gator just had ahold of his tail and the teeth marks were embeded in the tail, he lived, and the vet said it was a miracle, because pets do not normally escape. Why on earth does such a law exist?
