They do not generally remove gators when they reach a specific size. Instead, they are removed when they become too friendly with people. Do Not Feed the Gators!
Removal means calling a hunter. The hunter's only pay comes from selling the meat and hide.
Not long ago, a popular gator that had a name (Larry?) got large and was too unafraid of people. Villagers took their grandkids to throw food to him. He was removed to a gator park to live out his life in captivity. Other gators are not so lucky.
