downgrade-for-alligators - Latest News Reports -From TBO.com Blogs: "WEST PALM BEACH - State wildlife officials are recommending that alligators be downgraded from species of special concern to game within five years.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission also is ruling that homeowners be allowed to kill nuisance alligators on their property or hire a trapper to do so.
The commission will consider the recommendations at its December meeting.
Officials say the suggestions were made through input from an online survey and partially because the alligator population has topped one million, not because there have been three fatal alligator attacks in Florida since May.
Lake Worth trapper Rick Kramer says many of his colleagues don’t support the new recommendations.
He says it may lead to people getting hurt and injured alligators."
