An animal rights group called Friday for the prosecution of real estate tycoon Ronald Bergeron for jumping on an alligator in an attempt to wrestle it.

Bergeron, 62, who was bitten on the hand during the incident Sunday, said he was showing guests on his private 5,000-acre nature preserve in Hendry County some of his "Florida cracker heritage" by demonstrating alligator wrestling.

About the call for his prosecution, Bergeron said, "They got their opinion and I got mine. I didn't harass the alligator. He bit me; I didn't bite him."
