I'm a lifetime hunter, fisherman and general outdoors person and I have no problem with the death of an animal that could be a menace to the local human residents. The problem in my mind wasn't the killing of the gator, it was the lack of respect by the gator cops when they killed it in front of residents. A humane death in a private place would have been appropriate. If I were a resident who witnessed this outrage, I would be complaining to the powers that be in TV. If they handled the killing of this gator as described, the gator cops aren't all that smart (or neighborly).
