Florida Panther Deaths
I was crossing Alligator Alley recently and noticed that along State Road 29 south of I75 all the way to Tamiami Trail there were new sections of fence being erected. Clearly this was to keep wildlife off of the roadway especially the Florida Panther. The only problem was that there were so many gaps of unfinished sections of fencing. So if anything entered the roadway it would have to go back the same way or find a new gap which would mean basically being trapped on the road. Yeah there is a grassy shoulder but haven`t we all seen cats or squirrels that without warning dart across the road?. Anyway I decided to see what the roadkill statistics are. Hopefully the fence when completed will dramatically decrease the deaths, here is the link to the statistics
