3. 1. It is illegal to feed alligators


Why was this law created?
Just like the sign says, yes, Florida Statute 372.667 absolutely
exists. The law basically says that it’s illegal to feed wild alligators
or crocodiles in the State of Florida. This statute is part of the
Wildlife Conservation Act of Florida and was put on the books to
make it more criminally punishable for people to try to hunt, trap and
kill gators and crocs for their hides (they do make some cool
looking and very durable, waterproof boots though).

Be that as it may, the old laws against trapping were only effective if
the poachers were successful in catching or killing at least one
animal. With the addition of statute 372.667, it became illegal to
ever try to hunt or ‘molest’ these creatures while in their natural
habitats.

But it was at the end made to make sure the alligators were
safe with their habitat and also humans won't end up being
eaten by them.

When was this law created?


It became illegal to feed alligators in Florida after 2003.

What are the consequences of breaking this law?


Florida state law makes it a crime to harass or feed an alligator.
Anyone caught is subject to a $500 fine and/or 60 days in jail.
Biologists who study wildlife report that alligators involved in human
attacks are usually ones that have become accustomed to people.
