I grew up in Florida, there was a county park I'd go to quite often to chill out and it was common to see gators sunning themselves. People understood not to feed the gators or to leave trash where they could get to it. Zero problems.

Fast forward to now, dumb ass tourists think it's cute to feed baby gators - which grow up associating people with food.
