The gator should be at least 4 feet long and a threat to public safety. If the officer determines the gator should be removed, a permit will be issued to a contractor to trap or kill the animal. According to an Associated Press story, more than 12,000 alligators are trapped each year, with most of the complaints filed in the St. Petersburg and Fort Myers areas.

Florida has more alligators than any other state, followed by Louisiana, then Texas. I haven't read anything about it. However, this year it will be aired live on ABC at 8 p.m. Oct. 14.
