Sad they had to kill the king of the pond, too bad it couldn't be relocated to some kind of exhibit we're people could see it. However, there needs to be common sense when dealing with dangerous animals, usually there is only PETA's view.

But while most alligators attempt to swim away when approached, this gator wasn’t scared—it stood its ground

That gator was under the belief that 'stand your ground' laws applied to gators too.

But, whoever said that the dinosaurs went extinct millions of years ago? That picture says, no, they're still here.

Gators can go extinct far as I’m concerned. Take the kamodo dragons along with them too.

This guy is licensed by the Coast Guard to operate a commercial vessel. That doesn’t make him a Captain in the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard had nothing to do with this event.
