Nope, I did not say that killing alligators was immoral and I do not object unless some gooberhead kills one of the LAST large "old" alligators. I repeated it several times just for the sake of clarity. The 14 footers are smarter and they are harder to kill, so there is no excuse other than ignorance. About 5 years ago three local college students took off one weekend and bagged a 13 ft. gator, had it hauled up on a wench, photographed. They got slammed for it in the Letters section of the newspaper and they deserved it.
