SANFORD, Fla. — Alligator season has officially begun in Florida and hunters have already headed to the water this week. This year, they are able to hunt for 24 hours a day. But for some, the concept is controversial. One group held a protest in Sanford Saturday to address their concerns and rally for alligator rights. Protesters from the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida said people should not be allowed to hunt alligators at all. Gator hunters at the Black Hammock in Oviedo have a different opinion.
