I do not know how this alligator was killed but I did check ways that "trappers" kill gators.
"Check your local regs. Here in FL you cannot use a baited hook.
Sneak up at night with a light shining in it's eyes, then snag it with a treble hook and heavy fishing rod, spear one with a spear gun or cross bow, or the good old harpoon.
I use a .357 powerhead, no guns allowed in FL."
No reason that a 4 foot alligator could not have been subdued with no injury and taken to a state park such as Silver Springs for release.
