aren't we all.... nature at work...

2:15   "We are installing signage and temporary barriers at our resort beach locations and are working on permanent, long-term solutions at our beaches," Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler said.

There is no long term solution.  you cannot exclude alligators from one body of water or a particular portion of the water (like a beach) They won't be able to get rid of the alligators.  you are not going stop a creature that is pretty much the same now as it was millions of years ago.  Its an opportunistic feeder.  In florida, even on private property the alligator is a threatened and cannot be randomly killed.

back in the late 90's  the solution to nuisance alligators on property was to trap, tag, and relocate live alligators to the outer borders of the property that where under 7 feet.  Since all they were doing was moving the alligator from a populated part of the property to an underpopulated part, it was not a violation of state laws.
If an alligator was captured that was over 7 feet it was given to a trapper, or if they knew the alligator was over 7 feet before capture they are not permitted to handle it and  a trapper was hired.

Since 1948  there have been 383 alligator bites.   126 superficial wounds requiring nothing more than first aid and 257 (including 23 deaths) that required treatment at a hospital..  theres one alligator for every 15 humans...the fact that they've only bitten 383 is pretty good odds if you are human...

Yes its a shame that the kid died.  Its a shame that it happened at disney,  but not worthy of a 7 figure payout.... (assuming it was that much)
