Alligator hunting season opens amid debate

As alligator hunting season opens, a couple of items in Florida newspapers are calling the practice into question. Several letters to the editor, at the St. Pete Times website take the paper to task for running a story that included a "step-by-step" guide on how to kill an alligator. The letter writers call the article "horrid" and call it animal cruelty.

On Saturday, Wink News also ran an article entitled "Is the alligator hunt too gruesome?"
