Peter explained to the outlet: "We were riding down the trail. I was with my girlfriend, and we saw the gator, so I stopped and took a picture, and I saw you guys. I was like, hey, there's a gator over there." For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US Residents have been left repulsed at the sight as the animals float in the canal ( nbc) The two bodies recovered were found without heads or tails and had vultures sitting on top of them and covered in flies. They were found in the canal near Stratton Road and Cemetery Road. "I think someone cut their head off and just threw it in there 'cause people are nasty like that," said Peter. "That's nasty. I don't know why someone would do that. It's terrible." The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) says it's keeping an eye on the situation. In Florida, it's illegal to kill an alligator without permission from FWC. The state has an alligator hunting season which begins on August 15 and ends on November 1, however, in order to harvest alligators, the applicant must have a harvest permit issued by FWC. Alligators may then only be taken in accordance with the provisions of the permit. There are recommended guidelines in place for hunters looking to dispose of the carcass, an){kind=link}
