In went INTO her home? What is up with all these alligators? These attacks were happening once in a while before - now - they happen multiple times a day!

That's the rule of law in America today! Shoot a gator that has entered your home and tried to make a meal of your dog and you'll get a citation!

Cross a border, buy & use illegal documents, attain social services illegally and you'll be rewarded with citizenship!

America is dying...the parasite internationlism is sucking the life out of it.

Well I hope she gets her hunting license before the next intruder sneaks in!

Sounds like we need to put some gators along our southern border

Stock the Rio Grande with them

The BP will have to send them through training houses just like they do with working dogs.

Now someones using their head!

She was issued a warning,the game officer was just going through the motions. Florida has some very liberal self defense laws, she wasn't going to take any heat over this.

I use to live in that area of Bradenton.(I see where the story made Bill O'Reilly's most ridiculous item of the day.)...To receive a citation for hunting without a license for shooting a gator that entered your home and was attacking your dog? Unbelievable!

How is this considered "hunting" and not self-defense?

(Ok - she wasn't defending her 'self' so to speak - but she was defending her pet and her home.)

How is that hunting? It's not like she was shooting her gun off in the middle of Everglades National Park!

Hey, that's the "Southern" mentality.(Please no hate mail, my mom lives in Florida, Hi MOM love you.) Southerner's have no tolerance for invaders of ANY kind and the local officals back 'em up.

It's okay to shoot a murder or rapist or burglar who enters your home. But an alligator can? The officer who gave this woman the citation should be forced to live with the alligators for a week. Heard that the citation was rescinded.
