Record Breaking Alligator Caught

[Stev]

Completely unnecessary to kill it considering it hadn't hurt anyone, ****ing *****!

unless of course you happened to be in the water....

Well, if your dumb enough to go paddling in a lake with Alligators then maybe you deserve to be a snack .

 

[Stev]

and if you fell of a boat you would deserve to die too? :O



edit: sorry, I just enjoy being the top of the food chain, no likey stuff that eats me!

It is Un-british, do you see those nifty Pith helmets on their heads? Then they are clearly un-British and deserve to be sent to Australia for inprisonment!

lol

So let me get this right... We can kill cows , pigs , fish and other animals just fine but you deserve to die for killing a alligator..

For once, in a thread on here, no one has advocated death.

Killing for food and survival is far different to killing something just to use its corpse as an ornament don't you think?

 

[Marky]

meh, its a large alligator

theres loads of them

its just this one is a couple of inches bigger than some of the others.

A couple of inches makes a big difference apparently

I thought the Croc named Gustave was the biggest?

Taxidermy doesn't use the whole corpse, meat and all. It strips the skin away, puts it over a stuffed wire (or similar) frame and makes it look 'real' again. While not implicitly stated in the article, to use it as an 'ornament' would simply mean not wasting the skin... There'd still be a hell of a lot of meat left over going spare, and given its price no doubt to be sold for consumption. All I'm saying is, it's not that clear cut.

Gustave is the largest nile crocodile, larger crocs have been spotted around Australia.
