Later, alligator

So here's something interesting that I heard this morning on the radio as I was waking up. Two alligators were spotted in a lake in Brockton, and there's been a huge hunt to try to find and capture them. Evidently, one got captured the other day, but the smaller of the two has eluded capture. Finding an alligator in temperate Massachusetts wasn't what surprised me though. It was the remark from the news commentator: "The smaller one remains at large, however the search has been called off for it, as it does not pose a significant threat." (!)
Hmm. We won't catch the alligator now, its just a widdle bitty alligator. No, an alligator floating about in your lake isn't really an issue.

I mean, for heaven sakes, these critters get big! How long before he's a
big gator, and eating little chihuahuas that stray out of their owner's
pocketbooks, and then moves on to bigger things like joggers and stroller
pushing mothers? Now, I can't verify through other news sources that the search has truly been called off, but for a commentator to even suggest that
a little alligator poses "no significant threat" seems absurd. One thing is
obvious - the commentator obviously doesn't live in Brockton!
