CROCLIST: Search for Trenton

[Christopher Law]

I agree, within a week there really wouldn't be a trace of the child  
left inside of the alligators stomach.  Someone should step up and  
make mention of this, otherwise, there are going to be a lot of  
alligators dying for no good reason at all.  Isn't there a  
professional in the field who would be willing to step up and  
recommend against this action?
