Tommie Woodward ignored signs warning of an alligator. Tommie Woodward ignored the fact that it was nighttime, aka feeding time, for said alligator. Tommie Woodward said “F–k the alligators,” before jumping into their home. Tommie Woodward is, for all intents and purposes, a complete f–king moron.
His friend, Bear (really?), decided that since the alligator, who was doing what alligators do, would pay for eating his friend with its life. Yes, Bear shot and killed the alligator and now faces a class C Misdemeanor charge that can carry a $500 fine for killing the alligator. He told the Houston Chronicle, “He had to go. That’s what happens when you kill someone.”
No, idiot.
Your friend pulled a stunt that went incredibly wrong. The alligator, in this scenario, did absolutely nothing wrong. He saw food in his house and he ate it. Now, if that alligator were to come on shore and come up to what I imagine is undoubtedly your double wide trailer, barge in without knocking and proceed to eat you. Then, and only then, would I say you have a case to shoot the alligator.
But until alligators start committing B&E’s, you have zero right to punish an animal for doing exactly what millions of years of evolution has taught them to do.
Let me put it in really, simple terms.
Gators gonna gate.
