For the whiners crying about the huge alligator killed. It wasn't "hunting". It is known as "culling". Every year, there is an official cull to keep the gator population in check. I am 72, lived in Florida my entire life. Sharon Holmes was eaten by a gator when she was 16 at Oscar Scherer Park. A PARK! One does not investigate the gator before culling. They see, they kill. and only as many as they have a permit for. Usually 2. They also have a python cull in the glades, and that one is controlled as well. Recently 2 older people were killed by gators because they were unintentionally "fishing" for gators by walking their dogs on a leash next to a body of water. Gators are anywhere there is water.
You people ignorant about what is goin on remind me of Dan Akroyd responding to Jane Curtain, on SNL years ago, when she said stupid stuff...his reply was " Jane, you ignorant sl-t!" We absolutely MUST cull gators. And we can't eradicate these pythons ( who eat all the deer, raccoons, squirrels, big birds, and well everything...even small gators.) but we can try to control the population. Then we have the damned iguanas as well. Fire ants. And now we have Bill Gates releasing mosquitoes in Florida, and NOW... we have cases of MALARIA here! Very seldom do these people doing the hard work of culling the gators have a gator act aggressively. They aren't looking for any type of gator....just a gator. Kill it, fill your tag out, go home. And don't dare get caught with a gator in your possession with it being tagged.
Grow up.
