It seems every other night there's a film clip about someone in Florida
fishing a gator out of their garage, their pool, their basement and God
knows where else.

This weekend they showed a guy mowing the lawn that went down into a water
filled gully and as he pushed toward the water, the gator shot out of the
water and dragged it under.  Another reason to own a Robomower in Florida.
Better Robo than me.

I've seen gators subdued so often on TV, I'm confident that with  just a
loop stick and a BIG roll of nice, sticky and VERY strong duct tape I could
bring a 7 footer at least to heel.   And if there aren't any Petans around,
a friend with a big Louisville Slugger might come in handy.

Why don't they tag gators in Florida the way they tag wolves in Yellowstone.
The *ranchers* complain now, when a tagged wolf is shot.  They like to know
where the wolves are and fear an untagged one will now move into the
territory.   Here's an idea.  Stun collars on wolves and gators and RFID's
for toy poodles and sheep that activate them if the predator gets too close.
