15-foot Alligator Caught Eating Cattle Is Killed In Okeechobee, Florida

Am I the only person believing that this magnificent animal could have been saved? It seem to me that the natural thing for an animal, any animal to do is hunt for it’s food.
The reason this magnificent animal was killed was because it was allegedly in a cattle pond and for that they murdered it. After they shot it they supposedly found bits of cattle carcasses . So the death penalty was passed on this creature before it was even determined it had done anything wrong.
Isn’t this the way these people have behaved for hundreds of years?
Killing and pillaging and wreaking havoc on God’s earth , when will it stop?

Gone fish­ing’! Two Florida hunters say they’ve caught the largest alli­ga­tor they’ve ever found: near­ly 15 feet long and 800 pounds.Lee Lightsey, the own­er of Outwest Farms in Okeechobee, and guide Blake Godwin were hunt­ing over the week­end when they dis­cov­ered the gator in one of their cat­tle ponds, Godwintold Fox 13. The two men saw the gator from about 20 feet away, at which point Lightsey shot it as it came out of the water. They used a farm trac­tor to pull it to shore. “We also dis­cov­ered the remains what we deter­mined to be cat­tle in the water,” Godwin said. “We deter­mined that he was in fact attack­ing our live­stock as they came to drink.” Outwest Farms plans to donate the alligator’s meat to char­i­ty and stuff the rest of the ani­mal to dis­play at hunt­ing shows. “It is hard to believe that some­thing this big exists in the wild,” Godwin told the TV sta­tion. “Hunting is a way of life for us and we are very proud of it.” 15-foot alli­ga­tor caught eat­ing cat­tle is killed in Okeechobee, Florida
