I find it hard to believe that a billion-dollar company can't find a way to keep alligators and any other dangerous animals away. Reminds me of the old game Zoo Tycoon where I'd purposely leave cages open so that tigers and shite could get out and eat some of the visitors.

This is the first major alligator incident since the park opened in 1971. Current numbers have the Magic Kingdom alone attracting 20 Million guests each year. Also, more than 70,000 people work on the property.

Do the math on that, and I'm sure you can come to the conclusion that Walt Disney World has done a great job of keeping people safe from alligator attacks.

The alligators are wild animals living in their natural habitat. They can be a nuisance, but typically are fearful of people. My understanding is that the resort will trap and remove large alligators, or animals found in sensitive areas.
