a sad end for such a majestic beast

I agree. The story makes me wonder just how large can these gators get? The largest I have ever seen was about six feet long.

A side story featured locally. There has been several alligators caught in the Susquehanna River and a couple of creeks in the Binghamton NY area. These were young ones that someone let loose. But we all wonder if they might survive the winter.

I know who I'd like to drag into a boat and shoot 8 times. Such a waste. Awesome beast!

The story makes me wonder just how . . . . . . . 

. . . . . . . . low we will stoop for the sake of cheap sensationalism.
My god, we are a sad species!
