Alligator Stand Your Ground?
August 17th, 2016 by Mike VasilindaA Sumpter County man was arrested after shooting an alligator who he says threatened his horses. Social media has exploded after the incident, with many asking why he could not have used Stand Your Ground, but it does not apply to animals. FWC Public InformationCoordinator Rob Klepper says people should call the FWC hotline with gator complaints.
“Let us know and we’ll send a trapper out as soon as we can to take care of that gator. Now, of course, we can’t tell people not to protect their life and property, but every case is going to be different and we really want to encourage people to call that hotline” says Klepper.
The Hot line number is 866-FWC- Gator or 866-392-4286.
