Eh... I get that it is obviously a massive threat to everyone in that area but shouldn't it have been captured for study or something? It seems like such a waste of a clear anomaly.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Murderers

Claws up, don't hunt.

 

[MikeDown]

They could have left this magnificent beast alone, for others to enjoy and look at but no they had to fucking murder it, savages. Makes good food though...

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Why couldn't it go to a zoo? Or somewhere else to preserve it? An alligator that large could attract a lot of attention (and money) to a place.

Why would I go to a zoo to see an alligator rather than to the local lake, they're everwhere in the south and delta

I'd go, and even pay more than normal, to see one that large in person.

 

[Sketchbag]

Humans get so brave around animals that are bound up and defenseless, it's cute.

Well, you can't reason with it. The only way to look and study this thing is to tie it up. It don't care about laws. It's not going to care if you're brave or not, it will eat you.

 

[Pickman]

That is a LOT of gator meat. Yum.

Yeah, it's dead and it was killed by man and not from natural causes. But the ecosystem will adjust to his removal, and it's a far cry from an endangered species, so I think everything will be okay, guys.

 

[Hypemaster]

Good lawd, them gators man.

Actually we don't see or hear about too many around most of Alabama.

 

[Onemic]

Why would they kill it?

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Why would they kill it? That thing is too heavy to be dangerous to anyone who doesn't actually walk into its mouth.

They did it for the GAF thread, breh.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Sounds like the meat's going to waste. Pity, gator's good eating.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

I'd imagine they're all down around mobile? I'm from Florida and they are everwhere. I used to count them when we took road trips.

Its like deer sighting up north

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I'd imagine they're all down around mobile? I'm from Florida and they are everwhere. I used to count them when we took road trips.

Yup, there are bunch down around there.

Though rarely you will hear a fake story about one being around thats just to scare people.

 

[cajunator]

reminds me of big Al which has been displayed in Prejeans restaurant for years.
Some huge alligators down here.
A few of my coworkers get tags and hunt them sometimes.

 

[Pickman]

That will be pretty shitty if they take it just for the skin. Mind you, that's a couch, a love chair, and a full 12 piece luggace set with enough left over for some wingtips, but still. If you're going to hunt, at least take sustinance from the kill.

And yeah, well prepared gator is amazing. :O~

 

[Deleted member 22576]

On one hand it is kinda sad something so majestic was just killed on the spot, on the other all these posts about eating the poor guy make me want to try gator.

 

[studyguy]

Capcom is really going all on this MH marketing.

 

[Arkos]

I would fight him

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Why would they kill it?

Because they were hunting?

 

[God Dayumm]

You guys better edit your posts before feathers-GAF jumps your shit.

I'm watching you throwing shade at science-GAF. But alligators look like mosasaurs so they don't need feathers. Raptors and t-rexes do because otherwise they look like tadpoles.

I'm sad they killed it.

 

[Doctor West]

Fuck them for killing it. Pieces of shit.

 

[FourMyle]

But fried Gata is delicious.

that looks so good

 

[MechDX]

It is really no different than deer hunting except that this prey could bite your head off. Or even hunting for population control like wolves.

 

[TatteredHat]

Aaand it's dead, can't say I'm surprised.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Yup, there are bunch down around there.

I used to go to a local spring and about once a week we had to get out of the water because of gator sightings. It was always fun to see them and when you were tubing down. They really don't care that much about humans. They're really passive till YOU threaten THEM

 

[block tower]

But fried Gata is delicious.

exactly what i thought. pounds of fried gator and french fries for all.

 

[Shaanyboi]

came to post this

 

[Angry Grimace]

When you say "caught," you mean, killed.

 

[K.Sabot]

that looks so good

It is so good.

Better than Crocodile.

 

[Philia]

HUGE crocs are common, what's not common is that it got caught by humans. I hope it fed a lot of people because that's a good thing.

Any animal that got caught, killed and then turned into meat is still leagues better than atrocious trophy hunting.

 

[XenodudeX]

Why would they kill it?

Because they're fucking hunting it. When you hunt wildlife, it usually ends in you killing the animal that you're hunting. You know humans hunt shit right?

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

That's pretty cool. Wish it didn't killed so they could study it. Or something.

 

[Angry Grimace]

In fairness, I think you kind of have to cull Alligators because they're apex predators that don't really care about moving into human habitated zones.

 

[moggio]

You know humans hunt shit right?

I don't because I try not to be a scumbag.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

That's no alligator, that's a fucking dinosaur.

How the hell did they catch that thing

 

[Data West]

I don't because I try not to be a scumbag.

lol wow that's quite the jump of judgment.

 

[Mlatador]

What are they gonna do with him?

He must have had an amazing life so far, because he looks amazingly healthy. He's grown to this size and doen't even have scars. Such a pretty alligator.

EDIT: What? They killed him?

 

[kaching]

I'd imagine they're all down around mobile? I'm from Florida and they are everwhere. I used to count them when we took road trips.

But specimens like this? It's tragic to see such a magnificent beast killed primarily as a trophy kill.

 

[A-V-B]

Beginning of the end.

Hi. I'm Peter Graves.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

But fried Gata is delicious.

Whats this taste like?

Is it like frog?

 

[Angry Grimace]

How the hell did they catch that thing

Probably with a rifle shot through the heart.

Whats this taste like?

Is it like frog?

A bit like chicken, but occasionally a bit fishy.

 

[thesuperfunk]

Beautiful creature!

 

[MechDX]

Correct! Just like the cities in the west having issues with wolves and coyotes moving into neighborhoods.

 

[chaosaeon]

Why would they kill it? That thing is too heavy to be dangerous to anyone who doesn't actually walk into its mouth.

In some places there are laws that, depending on the size, it has to be put down or something along those lines.

 

[TheRedSnifit]

I hope you're a vegan.

 

[Clydefrog]

I'm sorry, jandro

At least frogs will never get that big. hop hop hop

 

[Wheeljack539]

i agree with this post.

That takes me back.
