Usually gators are removed from small lakes they somehow got into that aren't neccesarily their habitat. They'll come up through a drainage tunnel and get into a retention pond, for example. They need to be put back where they're supposed to be, where they can find food and stuff.
If a gator ends up in a pond or lake in a residential area, chances are it won't be able to find enough food there and might start going after neighborhood dogs and such.
I have a friend who's family business is to grab gators when they get into a residential area and take them back out to the swamps. Gators end up in all sorts of places they shouldn't be, people's pools, the gutters in front of their houses, etc.
