It's a darn shame to kill a gator just because a stupid Airboat Captain was teasing him with food, which is illegal. The gator was just responding like a gator. The Airboat Captain acted irresponsibility and is being charged accordingly. I think they killed the gator to get the hand so they could try to reattach it.

You're right Rebel Pirate, this Airboat Captain acted in a dumbass way. I feel sorry for the family from Indiana that he was trying to impress. What a horrific thing to witness. That will be one vacation memory they'll want to forget.
