Trappers Kill Gator Blocking Road

Palm Bay, FL, United States (AHN) – Wildlife trappers in Florida were called out early Tuesday morning to remove a 9-foot alligator blocking the road.

Bayside Lake Road in Palm Bay County road was closed for approximately 45 minutes while trappers removed the large reptile and killed it.

Once an alligator wanders into areas with sizable human populations, the animal has to be put to sleep because it is then considered a danger to humans.
