Rule 391-4-11-.03. Acquisition of Alligators
- (1) Alligator stock (alligators or alligator eggs) must be obtained from captive sources such as an established alligator farm or similar legal source or obtained from a licensed alligator agent-trapper. A permit as provided for in Section 27-2-10(b) Official Code of Georgia Annotated must be obtained from the Georgia Game & Fish Division before any alligators or their eggs are acquired or transported from one alligator farm to another. If the stock is obtained from an out-of-state source, legal requirements of the state from which the alligators originate must be satisfied before live alligators or alligator eggs can be moved across state lines. A bill of lading identifying the source of the alligators, their number, length, and sex, if known, or similar evidence of the sale, must be retained by the buyer.
- (2) Alligator farmers licensed under the provisions of O.C.G.A. Section 27-2-10 may purchase from any legal source alligator carcasses, the hide and other products from which may then be sold subject to provisions in Chapter 391-4-13.
