Poor, misunderstood gator.

Residents told News2Houston that they called authorities after discovering the gator Thursday in the middle of a road...

Well, what were they expecting? The cop to politely ask the gator to accompany him to the pound?

I guess Lara would rather have the gator eat her granny, than be "abused" by the Game Warden.

Let that be a message to any other rogue gators in the area. Gators ought not trifle with folks down in the Deep South. They oughta know better.

As usual the media takes one part of the story and overblows it. What would they have had him do? Pick up a 9 FOOT gator and throw it into the back of his pickup?? Either that or shoot it right there and risk a richochete hitting the by standers.

Sure it doesn't look pretty, but sometimes you gotta no other options.

I mean what did these whiny residents think he was gonna do with the gator? Talk it into getting into the truck???

Exactly how else did they think the 9 foot alligator was going to get to the end of the street? Oh yeah, just put a leash on it and walk it down there.

They called the cop to get rid of it and he did. Then they complain because he dragged the darn thing to the end of the street to shoot it. I figure by the time he got there everybody within a couple of blocks was there to watch. Instead of shooting it in front of some kids and softhearted people he dragged it out of the way and killed it.

Nine foot gator weighs a bit too much for one man to pick up. Probably drug it to get away from houses before discharging his firearm. Warden did what he had to do.

Prehaps we should have just feed the PETA members to the gator.

Then the gator would have been full and happy, making it easier to move and no one would be left to complain about it.

Dragged the gator away from the gawkers and killed it... seems like the right thing to do in my view.

It sounds like a no-win situation for the officer as well as the gator. Where have all the stupid people come from? It didn't seem like there were so many when I was growing up. I must have led a sheltered life.

I wonder what these people would be saying had this gator gotten ahold of a toddler.

"The game warden then took the alligator to the end of the street, and shot and killed it, authorities said."

Yeah, well, I suppose he should have carried the gator to the end of the street before plugging 'im. Would have been far more humane............................................ahem.

A Nine Foot Alligator!

People can be so Stupid...What's Wrong With Folks these days any way?

That woman in the Video Clip needs her Head examined.

What would have happened if that Big Gator was hungry, looking for something to Eat and it Grabbed one of the Children or "Adults" on the street?

I believe that the Game Warden did The Right thing.

He was alone, no help...and had a Nine Foot Gator to deal with and Stupid People standing around complaining.

Thank God that the Game Warden was Armed with a GUN!

*** Note to Fools and Stupid Humans...Don't Mess Around With A Nine Foot Gator...or You could become his...Snack!

That gator was racially profiled and dragged through the street like the man from Jasper Texas. He sould have had a chance to live and be place in a government ran home for gators.

Watch PETA say some of this nonsense.

Where is the best place to shoot an alligator? Isnt the skull real thick and hard? is an eye shot the best bullet placement?
