  I agree.  If there were some reason to believe a certain population was
involved that would be one thing, but to arbitrarily destroy one of the very
few things that's "native" to Florida just because many see it as a nuisance
is the status quo unfortunately.

    I have just been informed by a friend that channel 9 out of Orlando
Florida has announced the plans by the Orange County Sheriffs Department to
kill every gator over 8 feet in a lake in the Ocala National Forest in an
attempt to find any remains of the young boy.  I hope this is not true.

    First of all, the boy has been missing for at least three weeks looking
at the timing of the supposed sighting of Trenton and his mother at this
particular lake and the date she announced he was missing to today.  Given
the water temps and the basking temps these gators experience, there is very
little to no chance that any remains of a small child would be found in a
gator.

    To randomly kill gators for such an endeavor is ludicrous.

    I have deep sympathy for the family, but taking the lives of a unknown
number of gators for a ill fated search makes no sense.  This whole thing
has gotten out of hand and is running on emotion and not logic.
