Gator Update: Louisiana Leads the Way

The Natchez Democrat - Ordinances outlaw drunken elephants, stealing alligators, wrestling bears: "Other laws that are likely unique to Louisiana include theft of crawfish and theft of alligator, Seventh Judicial District Attorney Brad Burget said.

Alligator theft is defined as, “misappropriation or taking of an alligator, an alligator’s skin, or a part of an alligator, whether dead or alive, belonging to another.”

The consequences for alligator theft of $500 or more can be 10 years in prison and a $3,000 fine."
