A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

You can shoot them in SD of course, but that’s rarely needed. If you have a nuisance gator they’ll issue a permit over the phone. Usually a trapper is called out for nuisance gators. It’s against the law to feed them.
