Is it true that anti-hunting activists purchase two-thirds of the alligator hunting permits each year?
No, this is not true. For example in 2007, 82 percent of alligator tags were issued to hunters who filled at least one of their two allotted tags. Even if they had been able to purchase two-thirds of the permits, it would require a financial commitment of approximately $1 million, as well as the filing of false alligator harvest report forms.
