The water hazard at my club has gators. I never retrieve my ball from the hazard
I have seen gators swimming around with egrets in their mouths. The have warning signs up but those dumb egrets just ignore them.That's what i call asking for a lawsuit. My course doesn't have anything but those damn geese. Occasionally a bear.
There were a couple of rabbits that always hung out by one Tee box one day there were two spent 20ga shot gun shells and no bunnies..Caddie, hand me my 30-06...
Oh, it could also be worse...

A lady I know was playing golf with her friend and a squirrel ran down a tree and grabbed her friend's golf ball a ran back up the tree with it. They beat the tree with their golf clubs. The squirrel dropped the ball on the opposite side of the tree from the hole. My friend said she graciously allowed her friend to put it back where the squirrel grabbed it without a stroke penalty.Intentionally abusing wildlife at our club is cause, worst case scenario, for membership revocation, at least theoretically.
I don't know of that ever having happened, but then again, nobody bothers the wildlife, either.
