[Thanks to Henry for the pics]
Sometimes I have vaguely wondered about the attraction of hunting and shooting things. But looking at these pictures I had a realization... you can almost see them say: "Hey, look: I WON!"Of course we will kindly overlook the fact that they had to use a gun to win. :-)

Hardly sporting.
Killing the dragon is an old story... :-)
I´m not really amused...
From what I understand, there was an even larger female alligator seen crossing a local soccer field around the time this one was killed... not what I'd want my kid in the vicinity of!
Yes, large Gators and Grizzly Bears and other animals might be fun to kill, but it's always and only done with our weapons.
Animals protect and fight with their natural capabilities. Go ahead, fellow human - try doing that!
And if your ass or your hand or your head gets munched on while you're 'hunting' one of these animals who have no guns, the fault is yours.
You invaded their territory,
not the other way around.
Obviously, you've never tasted gator. There's good reason to invade. Kind of like when you invade a row of carots!
I haven't tasted gator. I've never had shark fin soup either.
Actually, they DID invade our territory. Didn't you read that the female was spotted in the community SOCCER FIELD? I'm an animal lover myself, but this is hardly a puppy. It is extremely dangerous. If a lethal python or ravenous wolf was on the loose, I'd rest a little better knowing there are people capable and willing to shoot the beast.
You're an idiot. A gator out of its element can be dealt with easily.
And Houston wasn't developed on previously natural territory? I didn't realize that location had naturally occurring skyscrapers, pavement, sewer system, electricity, air conditioning, or the computer and internet used to post comments?
No - sure haven't tasted gator. And not shark, or anything else that eats trash, tar paper, wooden fencing, and other crap as a way to survive.
You, Anonymous, stay anonymous.
It's best.
I think animals are cool. They are so into there own world in nature,but sorry if this gator came in my yard while my kids where playing id kill it also. I would shot it and then harvest it. God gave us the means to survive and if its eatting a gator or a cow I would do so. Its like planting corn or beans and harvesting them, then eatting them. Also how many of you have gone to Houma of late? I was born there and yes the city was built in thier hab but there is not a city in the world that did not invade something or someone elses hab first. Have you seen a bird in ur yard? Im sure it had better homes befor urs was built. Think about it if someone didnt do populatin control on animals then there would be thousands and ur kids wouldnt stand a chance. I know our animal control officers dont just trap and rele every animl they catch, they cant. So think about the cow, pig, or chicken you eat at dinner befor saying poor gator. Atleast he can attack and eat you! Cows, Pigs and Cickens cant!
Was this animal posing an immediate danger to life etc, if not then this is a terrible waste.
This gator wasn't killed in Houma. That's a rumor that's floating around the Web. It was killed in Florida. You can read the story here and see the pictures here: http://www.outdoorlife.com/photos/gallery/hunting/2009/09/giant-1000-pound-class-florida-gator. Near as I can tell, the stuff about the soccer fields was made up, too.
Good on ya', Dee Dee. It's been said before --- never let the truth get in the way of a good story! Last I heard, that 'gator chased a bunch of kids and the female swiped their soccer ball and took it back to her nest.
Wow - I'm so friggen impressed. This guy killed a 100 year old (yes-it takes about a century to get this big) with a gun. What a tough guy - a real macho badass. Be proud Mr Big Shot.
Yep, you said it.
Angel said it correctly for everyone. What if your inside of your home became invaded with thousands of mosquitoes. would anyone catch them one by one and put them outside. How cruel it would be to kill god's creation. This brings in origional sin that mixed up everything. The romans used to put two men in the arena and make them fight to death. following the line of destruction after sin where one must kill his brother inorder to survive. Like business to business ,competion in sports where to a milder degree one must win one must loose.martial arts where one gets malled and the other cheers victory. I war , at home, This is a land of survival even against accidents, disease,war of words.All refers to this, "Remove the beam from your eye first then you will see much better how to remove the splinter from the other person's eye." biblical quote.

Are you kidding me. A gator out of it's elements can not be dealt with easily. I am guessing you are not from the south. Now this wasn't in Houma! It was in Fl as one person had said. I have seen them really big here though. Not that big. None the less one that size near people will be killed. Get over it. Besides they are good. Depending on how it's cook, it taste like either chicken or pork. But you can't knock what people eat. I want some meat in my diet and some want all veggies. Shoot I met someone that ate everything raw. Meat and veggies. Never cooked her food. That's gross. But she had to eat it not me. You should watch Swamp People on the History Channel Sunday nights. That would get your motor going!
this is BS, that is my dentist in the picture and he killed the gator on the St. Marys river in northeast Florida!! He has it hanging in his office.
nice gator............to all of you animal rights people...i have a soft heart for animals and dont kill for sport but being from southern louisiana......you kill gators of that size on spot by whatever means..........because they dont care if it is your grandma that got too close to the water.......scooby snack
What ever happened to that scripture in the bible that says the animals are meant to be eaten. Maybe worded differently but that's what it says. Oh let me guess y'all don't believe the bible. Guess we will just have to find out when we die or jesus comes back. Oh wait you don't believe he's coming back. Some people never had chance.
