The gator is dead.

I got that. But there's a right way and a wrong way to do things. This was the wrong way.

Who would want to be in a business that was subject to cancellation, simply because of the sensitivites of soccer moms?

I hear ya. Tell ya what, if the sucker moms don't like the method in post #51, they can get rid of it themselves or keep the damned thing in front of their houses. Somehow, I think you won't get many complaints for merely duck taping it and hoisting it into a pickup truck bed. The sucker moms won't be around later when its shot.

LOL. I'm looking at it from a pragmatic business viewpoint. It is easier, safer, and quicker, therefor more profitable, if one man, with nothing more than a pickup with an electric winch and a .38 can dispatch any gator post haste. You shoot it where it lies, and hoist it into the truck with the winch. Then, as you suggested, skin it for the hide, and sell the meat for dog food.

Capturing it, to dispatch later in a private location, to suit the sensitivities of soccer moms, is a whole different business model.
