a. DO NOT FEED THE ALLIGATORS. They will lose their fear of humans, thereby posing a threat to people.

b. Pets must be leashed at all times. Allowing your pet to run free and/or walking your pet near the water's edge can attract alligators and may prove to be a threat to your pet.

c. If an alligator is threatening you or your pet, contact Star Management to report the type of threat and the specific location. If the alligator is on a lakeshore, be sure to name the lake and exact shore location. Star Management will then contact the Wildlife Commission and report back to you. A permit for trapping an alligator will be issued only to the Association and only if the Wildlife Commission determines a threat is actually being posed.
