[quote=Anonymous]Right.  What's next?  You head down to the beach in Delaware or elsewhere, get into the water and are attackedy by a shark.  Was someone supposed to warn you there may be sharks in the water?  You take risks wherever you go.

Someone pointed out there was an attack at Disney in 1986.  That was 30 years ago.  That's a long time between attacks, meaning this kind of thing is a highly unlikely statistical fluke.  That is too bad for the family that lost the child, but perhaps Disney did a cost-benefit analysis based on the statistical probability of a fatal human - gator interaction and figured the risk was very low.

I think it would be unreasonable within any property in Florida with water - public or private - to make it gator free.  It is just not possible.  The manmade lakes at Disney are connected to the natural lakes and waterways in the area, and the series of canals that are found across Florida are like commuter highways for gators that allow them access to virtually any body of water in the state.
