Default They do it for free

The 'gator hunters are licensed by the state. They perform their duties for free, which is to say "almost free". For the performance of their duties, these trappers get to keep the spoils, in the form of gator heads, hides, and meat. (After all, the "gator nuggets" served up in local restaurants come from someplace, right?)

The removal of gators is restricted to "nuisance" gators, based on a complaint. For once size DOESNT matter.

As for nuisance neighbors, well I happen to know a gator who works for meals.!!!

Personally, I enjoy the occasional alligator, remembering that they were here first. But then again, so was the American Indian. Ok, back on point...
