I don’t want “Q” to think we’re impatient or picky or anything ... but I did ask for a bunch of things earlier. The alligator things may be a little more difficult to muster. Appropriate, yes. PAIN, absolutely! but, likely no ;)

(Yawn!) Hanged and Hung are both past tense forms of Hang. Hung is the strong form, but has taken a slightly different meaning than hanged. Hung means suspended, and hanged means suspended as a means of execution.

For a real “slide” trip into linguistics;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_strong_verb

“hang hung hung (Note that, in the transitive sense of hanging someone by the neck, hang usually has regular weak conjugation hanged)”

In short, we want them tried and hanged.

Forget about the hanging. Just submit directly to the alligators.

Look for PETA to pitch a fit about cruelty to alligators.
