I suppose it would have looked better if

...he would have called the neighbors and kids round, took out the ITHACA MAG-10 "Roadblocker" and busted that Gators mellon right there.

With budget crunches and so many firemen and cops overseas as military reservists...it's lucky they had a guy in uniform available to come around to deal with the gator. Be prepared to see less service from municipalites in the future, cause they aint got any money and the tax payer is stretched. Not only is the taxpayer stretched, with all the layoff's and business closures...the tax base shrunk! School teachers are having to janitor their own classrooms, police departments are laying off, state workers in my state have gone two years without a payraise.

I guess if you find seeing gators being drug down the street by DNR officers as horrifying, I suggest you call up some of your flying buddies that made use of that WIA "FREE MONEY" made available by the tax payers so's people could go out an get expensive, useless type ratings for free and have them put together a "save the alligator" fund.

Reptiles once ruled this planet and I hope whatever rules this planet after US, eats them stinking DEMOCRATS first.

"It was very inhumane," resident Lara Mercadante said. "It was awful. It was absolutely unreal. If you weren't here you would not believe that it happened. We never thought that it was going to end up the way it did."

The same could be said about this womans kids or the neighborhood dog if that Gator had gotten hold of 'em!

Besides, alligator is quite tasty!

Did you guys also see the clip of the jet that landed without the nose gear?
It wasn't all that exciting though.

 

[A Passenger]

It is horrible what those people did to that alligator. They should definitely be fined.

 

[brianjohn]

Actually, how about if they drag the game warden behind a truck instead of fining him?
Well, on second thought... That recalls that case of the guy who got dragged by some skinheads in Texas a couple of years ago. That was truly awful.
But yes, dragging that gator like that warrants something a little more than a slap on the wrist.

 

[WrightAvia]

Yea brianjohn...i think you're right.

If life was fair and righteous...when a MAN saved a community from harm, that community should serve up it's fairest maidens in return for the service. Yes, a slap on the wrist is definitely an embarssing offer from the people...when it should be bestowing poontang on him. And maybe a Becks beer with a slice or two of pizza.

you people have got to be kidding!! This was a 9 ft alligator!!! Two points -

One, it's right out of the dinosaur age! It's got a brain smaller than a wallnut. You think it has feelings or something. maybe we can teach it to communicate by pushing buttons like the apes - NOT.

Two - it's a 9-ft carnivorous wild animal. You think it might have "broken the skin" if it had bitten the game warden!? No - might have taken his hand off more like!!

Let's keep this in perspective - it was a reptile. No smarter than a 12" snake or lizard climbing on the wall outside your door.

There's alligators in Texas?

 

[brianjohn]

wrightavia-
I'm not sure if there was sarcasim in that post...
All I'm saying is that removal of the animal was obviously the right thing to do, but couldn't it have been done in a more ethical way?
I'm not sure how the aptitude of the animal has anything to do with it.
Just wait till Steve Irwin catches wind of this! It was a beaut!

 

[brianjohn]

... yes I know, he's a croc lover. Same thing.

 

[WrightAvia]

What if IRWIN ALLEN gets ahold of it?

History shows again and again, how nature points out the folly of men...GODZILLA!

Saw on the news this morning that the aligator was wounded prior to the Game Warden showing up. To make matters worse, these parents you see on TV crying because the aligator was killed are the same parents letting their children ride up to it on bicycles and touch the **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** thing. For that reason the Game Warden had no choice but to do something quick, so he drug it to a place where he could shoot it without the danger of any body getting hit by a stray bullet. In my opinion, if those stupid parents hadn't let their kids go near the alligator the Game Warden would have had more time to asses the situation and come up with a better solution. As it was he did what he thought best given the circumstances. How stupid do you have to be to let your kids touch a live wild aligator?

How stupid do you have to be to let your 3 yr old kid ride standing up in the front seat of your car? How about holding your baby in your lap? you can seet his stuff every time you get on a freeway around here. This is going to draw the PC flames, but I believe it has to do with a particular "cultural" influx into the Houston area from South of the Rio Grande. I'd put money on who was letting their little kid touch a 9 ft, pi$$ed off alligator. If I'm wrong, I'll take the flames... but I doubt I'm wrong.

A sarcasm-free post

KSU:

Amen. Yours is the best, most well thought out post in this thread (not that your competition was too stiff).

Be thankful for public servants like this game warden who do the dirty jobs to keep your children from being EATEN BY WILD ANIMALS.

More humane?.......Get a grip.

 

[ksu_aviator]

PurpleHaze, thanks for the glowing review!

flywithastick, if you are implying what I think you are implying then you might want to go grab a fork and spoon. It was white kids and white "soccer" moms. You don't really think Mexicans would have carred about an aligator getting shot? I understand what you are saying though and agree that immigrant Mexicans are a little less safety minded. I think its probably more a part of the culture in Mexico though. Latinos born and raised in America don't seem to be as careless, thats why I think its a Mexico thing not a race thing. Just like the work force in Memphis. No offense the Memphisans but Memphis is flat out lazy.

I read a sir-name in a news article that put the thought in my mind. Didn't see the video personally.

Agreed. He will taste good.
