Oh, really?

If true, they must have a private arrangement with a trapper who should be licensed by the state.

It is published policy by the state that their contracted professional trappers do not relocate alligators.

Actually, I am skeptical that "Villages authorities" are able to keep track of the alligator population, in view of the fact that alligators frequently move from lake to lake, especially during mating season.

That may be what happened to "Larry" in Brownwood. He just moved on.
