There are an estimated 1.6 million alligators in Florida. And only about 170 trappers. So it's no wonder this little guy showed up in one of the ponds in our subdivision. Thankfully, Ray, one of those 117 trappers came and caught him. He was really nice and we got to get pictures of the kids holding Mr. Alligator- and didn't have to pay the usual $5.00 places charge to get your picture with a gator!

| Ray had this big guy in the trailer behind his truck. He had caught him earlier in the day at a different subdivision. |
The trappers only get paid $30 per alligator. Would you catch a gator for $30??!! Not me, I have nightmares about my kids or me getting eaten by an alligator!
That's it! Seems they should get paid per pound or something at least.
ReplyDeleteI should have said they get paid $30 AND they get to keep the gator to sell for it's hide and meat etc.
