  • I lived in Florida, I saw where the houses are build, humans are invading UNNECESSARILY the everglades that are wild area x wild animals.

  • I live in florida and i blame the spics...plain and simple problems never came when they were not here 20 years ago

  • @bubbagumpshrimp14 iBlame All The Dumb White ppl That Feed Them

  • Let's BBQ it! Yum! Yum!

  • I like how they say "destroy" instead of kill or murder. I'm not disagreeing with the decision, but it's pathetic how they try to sugar coat it.

  • @rickymaric exactly like everyone sayin move the humans has clearly neva been in florida cuz down here its known where theres water theres prob gators

  • that shrapnel bounces from the head of the gator to the side of his chest...

  • To everyone saying get rid of the humans u dumb Florida. Is one big swap. Basically. U want us to just to empty the state dumb ppl

  • @Mr3treking I know right, I don't even live totally near the water and I see alligators. Florida is 1 huge swamp, gators are everywhere.

  • @OmegaRaver (continued) You mentioned the big 17ft gators in Florida, how they shy away from humans. It's the same here in Louisiana. Most stay in the most remote areas of the swamps. But even WAY out there where they're not likely to be fed, some are just bold and DON'T shy away. Feeding is DEFINITELY a bad idea, but it also makes sense that there's so MANY gators that some are crowded out of their home in the swamps and into our neighborhoods by other gators.

  • @OmegaRaver This doesn't just happen where developers drain the swamps to build neighborhoods. I live in a small city of about 35,000 in south Louisiana. MILES from the swamps. Never was part of alligator habitat. This past summer two gators showed up in a pond in our city park where kids feed the ducks, and a third killed a dog in a wealthy gated subdivision. And this is well within the city limits, pretty much right near the middle of town. (continued)

  • am moving to FL soon, this is gonna be fun, am originally from LA so am not like one of those southerners who know a thing or two about hunting....but nevertheless hunting and eating crocky is gonna be fun

  • @2211jw actually they've been here millions of years before us

  • Comment removed

  • Right in back of my house in the backwater gulf I have three ten foot gators. I don't bug them, they don't bug me, They mostly just sun themselves and give you the evil eye.

  • @PvtParts111 hahah the evil eye(:

  • is that the killer swamp that they're talking about..that has alligator gar and more dangerous aquatic species?

  • it is so tebble that they kill it

  • mankind for you.

    if theres wildlife in the way of cheap low cost housing.... shoot it.

  • @HorrorLurker You ASSUME it's a hunter, not a reptile professional, as if the two can't be both. I don't hunt alligators, but I do hunt and frankly, correct me if I'm wrong, but your remark seems derogatory to us hunters. Also, any reptile professional worth his salt is well aware of an adult gator's instinct to return from long distances to where they're captured, and that relocating one that's lost fear of humans is dangerous, especially to children. Bottom line, they did the right thing.

  • The top comments are ridiculous! Fuck the gators! They're dangerous and they're everywhere!

  • Lol. He got shot. That such an American thing to do! ;)

  • murderers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love gators and i am a floridian the damn snakes are more of a threat than them the pythons shoot them

  • what the fuck we threatend them so why do we always kill these beutiful animals its not like humans rule all on earth

  • i hope that guy is walking about his home when a huge alligator comes up and shoots him in the head (:(: Was born around Alligators and swam with them. Never bothered me once (:

  • i would throw a grenade in there and it's over.

  • I understand the need to trap and remove alligators from residential areas but to me it just seems lazy not to just relocate them to the Everglades. The reason why it was killed is because they enlisted help from a hunter and not a professional with reptiles who would have saved it.

  • @innertransporter Also, the neighborhood may have been built before the alligator population was at current levels. See, where I live in Louisiana, alligators were rather scarce years ago. Now, the gator population is really high, and even though it's still somewhat rare to find them in neighborhoods, it happens more often than it used to. Maybe the same is true in Florida. Point is, to move an established neighborhood isn't practical, but to take out the occasional dangerous gator, is.

  • @Stingray8854 Yeah, agreed, just move the potential man eater gator.

  • @innertransporter I'm saying that most of the time, such incidents are rare. Sure, Florida has some areas where neighborhoods are built on cleared out swamp. I don't agree with that, but that being said, I don't live in Florida. If it's anything like where I live, a small city in southern Louisiana which never was part of any swamp, this happens occasionally. Even though we actually have more alligators. I mean, it's not like a whole neighborhood can just pick up and leave.

  • @innertransporter First of all, it's not a crocodile. It's an American alligator. Second, are you seriously suggesting that the people who live there abandon their homes (if they sell them it just puts different people there), to let the alligator have the run of the place? Come on, it's the REAL WORLD.

  • @Stingray8854 yea I'm wrong about the crocodile thing, i didn't actually read the title, but about the people to move, are you saying that the peoples living in that riverside should stay? i mean what if they had children and they play near the river, suddenly fell into the water, and a gator saw this and ate the little children?, if we cannot move the human population, at least fence the their backyard, or make a watergate at the endpoint of the river, and take the gators out.

  • Why move the crocodile? why not move the Human population in the riverside

  • @innertransporter um because its an alligator not a crocodile

  • @innertransporter i didnt know that crocodile's too are commenting here at utube :)

  • @innertransporter Im sure that if you lived in one of those houses by the riverside then you would believe the opposite to what youre saying. "Get rid of the gator! Its too close to where I live and I dont feel like moving myself."

  • @JourneyTheStars (continued) Imagine a little 2 year old getting her toy in the flower bed in her back yard at dusk. She doesn't see him in the plants. An explosive lunge, a 2,000 lb bite, she's bitten in half, her little body swallowed in pieces as her parents collapse, screaming in horror. That's not hysteria, and I'm not ill-educated on alligators. It could ABSOLUTELY happen in REALITY. The trappers did the right thing, and as a Florida resident you need to see the REALITY of this.

  • @JourneyTheStars (continued) Also, they eat more than just fish drifting by. They don't have lightning speed and over 2,000 lbs bite force for nothing. They kill and eat nearly any animal, up to and sometimes nearly matching their size. They don't normally attack humans, but it DOES happen. Pets are COMMONLY eaten in some areas. And when they lose fear of humans, even by unintentional feeding, they don't care if it's a dog or a human child. (continued)

  • @JourneyTheStars Dude, you are SERIOUSLY underestimating alligators. I'm not paranoid about them, but there's things you should know. Just because it went under does not mean it's timid. They ALL do that. I've seen them go under, then surface right next to me. Relocation? Too often, big ones return, even from over 100 miles away. This puts the same people, and anyone living between where it was captured and released, in danger. (continued)

  • @GodsCountryOutdoors The danger is not overdramatized. The man in your video knows alligators, somewhat expected them, and filmed them lying on the river bottom, out in the wild. A gator lying on the bottom is FAR less dangerous than one cruising the surface, hiding in the grass at the water's edge, or worse, one that's lost fear of humans, hiding in a flower bed in someone's yard. All it takes is a child to go in after a toy. It's dusk, she doesn't see him...Imagine that. It could happen.

  • Living in Florida myself, I don't happen to have the same hysteria that comes from people who are ill educated about alligators. The reflexes in their mouths are made so when they lay at the bottom of a stream and dead fish float by, they can grab it. Their entire diet is for the most part made up of fish, not of humans and pets. And yes, fresh water gators are actually some of the most shy kind! (: Just make sure you don't feed them, allowing them to lose their fear of humans.

  • Comment removed

  • The gun posed more of a threat and danger to those trying to remove the gator than the gator did him or her self. And by the looks of the video, the gator showed to be timid, hiding under water as they came near. A timid and healthy gator such as that one should have been released in the everglades.

  • @JourneyTheStars Lol, you DO realize that you just called an alligator timid, right?

  • I think they may have overdramatized to danger. Watch my video where my friend Scotty jumps off in the water and takes a swim with several wild FL alligators and videos himself within inches of the the gator. GodsCountryOutdoors.

    You simply have to know the animals very well to loose your fear.

  • крокодил Данди

  • i bet that steve irwin gets angry when he see this.

    this men sucks he kills him because his to big wtf irwin will dive in the water in state of shooting

  • haa

    

  • if only steve erwin was there....this wouldnt have happened

  • can we kill the people who put housing developments in their habitats?

    

  • it was not a gun

  • i wouldnt care if croc ate people..

    thats LIFE people kill eeverything why are they so keen on killing everything which isnt anything other than killing each other...

    "as long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be slaughter among people" foregot by who this was--

  • @kotZe1337 As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields - leo tolstoi PEACE ( =

  • The guy in the green shite and blue shorts used a bang stick, not the guy who got shot.

  • The video does not clearly show who fired the shot. I could not see how the green man shot himself.

  • so sad , Is this the exemple you will give to our next generation . ? To big to be relocated ? Ok you are to old to be working let's eliminate you , how that sound .

  • @fermagal fuck humans!! but day will come, when it is about beeing on the right way or the wrong... not that what they do is evil- there is no good and evil- but maybe u understand ( ;

    peace

  • @fermagal maybe the whole in his stomach is kharma or something...

  • i love it

  • Safety is always first when dealing with nuisance gators. Sometimes you have to kill them on seen. The bang stick he used is the only legal method to kill a gator on scene for a trapper. The nuisance program started back in the early to mid 70's. A lot of time and research went into developing the program to best handle the animal and the public's safety. These trappers do not get paid to do this job, they make their money off the animal. When you get your facts straight then make comments.

  • Again let me set a few things straight. When the Nuisance Alligator Program started it was a catch and release program. Guess what, they were catching and releasing the same gators over and over. They DO NOT stay in the wild after 4 ft. Small gators can be relocated and not be a problem. That is why FL. Law is written the way it is for gators. Tranquilizers DO NOT penetrated gator hide on big gators. Certain gators need to be killed before you do anything else with them, or you could get hurt.

  • im from florida and have seen a lot of gators and even handled a few. they can be extremely dangerous but if you follow certain rules you will be fine. florida law states that any gator over the size of six foot that posses a problem to people or pets must be humanely put down. (bullet to the head). i have the upmost respect for alligators but i would side with human life. so people dont feed the gators.

  • Im a big lover of the natural world but protecting human life is #1 peoples argument being either 'gators have the same rights' or 'they were here first' we humans seem to glance out at nature feeling detached from it like we are the masters of life. We're a product of god and our environment like everything else in our small world. Anything that threatens human life needs to be dealt with, or is that just my natural instinct of survival?

  • thats why you need steve !!! he would be pissed right now

  • i'm from florida. they don't kill alligators, unless they get to be a problem.  they get used to people, usually from people feeding them. they will relocate them if possible. most of the time, people don't mess with gators and vice versa.

  • there is a reason these crocs outlived dinosaurs.

    cros are perfect killers

  • Why didn't they put the gator in the glades or the green swamp or something?

  • ashole humans -.-

  • @Trolljolt Trust me brosky as a resident of florida for my whole 16 years of life theirs TONS of these guys around on the streets and when the streets flood from rain they just love to go from river to river pond to pond and canoe to canoe. Their annoying and PLENTY of them.

  • @left4deadpwner20

    i can agree it could be problems, but when u live in such parst of the world then you know the risks and such, learn to live with the creatures.xD

  • @left4deadpwner20 i'm from florida too. most gators go the other way if they see people. it's usually only when some idiot feeds them that they become a problem. they relocate a lot of them.

  • "BBC Wildlife - They annihilate everything on their path - Ultimate Killers - The Homo Sapiens"

  • You could move them. Yet in America they think the best thing to do is kill everything. That's why most of the world hates them

  • really? most have to be destroyed really? THEY WERE HERE FIRST NOT US my god at least make a nature reserve or something

  • The humans kill the gators that were there first and call it troublesome?

  • Poor gator....nowhere to go. Humans are taking over their habitat. Just let it live in peace....!!!

  • couldn't he just have said euthanized, I destroyed was the wrong term unless he blew it up with a missile or something, lol

  • rednecks...

  • Here's an idea...just a suggestion, stop building your houses and communities in their natural habitat! They were there first. We encroached on their territory and it's got to the point where they have nowhere else to go that isn't filled with bloody humans!

  • @Zombella26 canals aren't really their natural habitats tho are they - manmade.

  • @Zombella26 with the amount of gators in florida, its virtually impossible not to encroach on their territory, and theirs tons of space in the everglades where theirs no humans and they can live there peacfully.

  • @Zombella26 Animals natural habitats are everywhere, so either we dont build houses at all and die, or you only care about crocs/alligs not the others... Unfortunately we make animals suffer and die everyday, but there is only so much we can do. Go complain about shark fin soup, cause what they do to the sharks is just horrid!

  • @Zombella26 Okay, and you live in the city? At some point, I'm sure where you live, was an animals natural habitat. We develop places like this, because we're expanding. And when animals like this, are life threatening, then we have to deal with that, somehow. I bet if a gator killed your kid, while on a vacation, you'd want every gator on earth killed. Oh, and careful with the human bashing, okay? Some of my best friends happen to be human.

  • @Zombella26 shut up , were humans, were better

  • i hate being a human i dont wanna kill animals oh by the way GO TO HECK U FREAKING KILLERS OF AMIRICA UR GONNA KILL ALL ANIMALS ANIMALS ARE GOOD SOME PEOPLE EVEN KILL SNAKES D:< THEY EAT RATS THAT CARRY DIASESAS THATS NICE DONT KILL PRECHOICS ANIMALS THUMBS UP IF U LIKE ALL ANIMALS

  • @sbushe11 hippie

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO DONT KILL ALLIGATORS THEIR GONNA BECOME ENDANGERD SPEICS(spee-SHHES)WE ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM

  • It's just wrong. Wrong. We should NEVER make our selves masters of wild animals. They live where they live. Deal with it! What a crying shame to put down such a magnificent animal.

  • @stensnask

    Wait until it eats your leg or family member, then you'll have different view. You don't live there, and you don't understand the danger. If I put a cobra in your house and the only way you can get rid of it is to kill it, I bet your would. Well, since it now concerns YOU

  • next thing you know people will be saying save the cows!

  • @PlainsOfTranquility well u have to bare in mind animals were here first

  • this is disgusting.... thats not the way to catch it. with no proper tools and lots of experienced man with no brains, this is how it ends. so sad.

  • He shoots himself and has 20 years experience?? How is he still alive!

  • @tenaciousd1888 He didn't shoot himself. The man who was using the bang-stick should have fired it under water instead of above water and at an angle to the other boat. It was his fault.

  • @tenaciousd1888 he didn't shoot himself, the gator's skull is so thick that the bullet shattered and a little bit hit him

  • @tenaciousd1888 someone else shot, he got hit by shrapnel, maybe try and listen next time

  • @tenaciousd1888

    he didn't shoot himself, the guy across from him is the one that fired the gun.

  • @tenaciousd1888 He didnt shoot himself for one thing and the other thing is he got hit by parts of the bullet that hot the alligator. Pretty hard to move out the way really.....

  • @midfielderlegend Technically he still shot himself.

  • @tenaciousd1888 No he didnt.....he didnt even have the gun!!

  • @midfielderlegend I understand but, he still did.

  • @tenaciousd1888 what part of the sentence are you getting confused with you put "HE SHOOTS HIMSELF" means he has to have the gun in his hand.......he doesnt SOMEONE else shoots the gun the bullet hits the alligator and shards of shrapnal hit him. is that any clearer for you?

  • @midfielderlegend No, he shot himself. Even if no gun was present, he still shot himself.

  • @tenaciousd1888 You have got to be on a wind up........please explain the meaning of the sentence "He shot himself" to me.

  • @midfielderlegend The man with the wound has killed many alligators and will kill many more. They become extinct in the year 2052 so he travels back in time to shoot himself to save the alligators. So as you can now see, he shot himself!

  • @tenaciousd1888 right.........

  • Who likes Ricochet?

  • "He has made his home in a canal right in the middle of a housing development, there's just no way that he can stay here."

    Correction. perhaps silly Americans shouldn't build their fucking houses in gator territory.

  • You mother fuckers wont catch my ass!!! hahahahahah

  • Hmm...if I'm not mistaken, you guys did the same thing to the Native Americans. What gives someone the right to go into new territory and destroy what was there before you.

  • aw man theres an alligator behind my house

  • im a licensed nuisance gator trapper and almost every time i take them to the lake on my property and let em go, its my way of sayin fuck you to the law haha

  • In the History Channel there is a show called Swamp People, what the contestants do is they hunt gators and shoot them with their rifles. Is it really legal in that state to kill these vicious predators? When I first saw it I was like, why did he shoot it? I thought they're (he's with his teammate) going to take it alive.

  • @coolcut11 they make a livin off harvesting the hide and meat, the show is about hunting and how cajuns live not a contest, its a good show u should watch it bro

  • @bubbagumpshrimp14 Actually I'm watching it. Though I hate to see gators getting killed, I can't help myself but watch it since it's about them. Anyway, thanks for the info.

  • Why don't we kill all of them? Who needs alligators. Just leave some in Zoo and farms for skin and meat.

    Crazy white people.

  • @LukaSerb1 why kill off a species thats been here for millions of years, they're an important part of the environment and we have no place and no reason to destroy this world and what lives in it, it is not our planet it is the planet we live on and share

  • @LukaSerb1 Of course they have their part in our ecosystem. Don't be too shallow dude, we're all created by God.

  • @coolcut11 created by god? bullshit.

  • human life is more important than any other thing in this world.

  • your wrong. we are no diffrent from animals except our thought process. who are we to say we are more important than these other animals?

  • these kind of manuvers are cruel i was raised in florida and i love gators. they were here first let them be.

  • gators are cool man ! Florida would be a bit boring without gators lurking about.

  • KARMA at it's finest! Ha Ha mother fucker!

  • "their too good for their own good" That's kinda like saying your to broke to get a job.

  • @cdemanelis He means their too good of a predator for their own good. You twat.

  • @TheUnreaI I'm quite aware what it means I'm laughing at the irony of killing an alligator because it's an efficient predator or you could say gators are so good at hunting we have to hunt them. You got fired from your job because you were to good at it. So, having had to break it down and spoon feed you understanding smack yourself for being a stupid cumbucket. How in the hell did a fucktard like you manage to skip out on your date with natural selection thus far.

  • @cdemanelis HAHAHA keyboard warrior, getting mad.

  • @TheUnreaI BZZZZZZT!!! Wrong again! I'm starting to see a pattern here.

  • :34 Wow nice word choice there jackass. I hate that we have to kill them by law.

  • like your dog, love your wife

  • Allright, lets go to florida fer some 'gator fishin!! Whoo!!

  • I'm pretty certain that any extra-terrestrial life is going to see us as "unable to be relocated"

  • @chriswoodw Doesn't matter, we have Chuck Norris.

  • Wow,

    

  • Wow,

    

  • Wow,

    

  • where in florida

  • i was kinda surprised that there are gators in cuba living naturally in guama lagoon area.

  • HAHahahah the idiot got hit by shrapnel from the boomstick! Fucking morons...

  • If you're gonna live near gators don't let your dogs or kids near the water at dusk or dawn unattended. Gators aren't threatened or endangered anymore so killing a few isn't that big a deal. But it is their territory and if you're afraid of them then go live in an apartment complex. I've been swimming here my whole life and every gator I encounter swims away. My dog isn't more important than the natural ecosystem. Should we kill all the sharks too? Go back to the mall and stay there.

  • @TKOTokyo

    actually I just don't give a shit about the planet, global warming and this BS, I just like alligators among some species, now when your familly or friends comes in the trouble, sure I'd kill anything even another human, it's just that I don't like the way ppl are enjoying killing em, I never enjoyed killing anything, and I don't understand that

  • Too bad the gator didnt eat those idiots first.

  • You all sound like a bunch of tree hugers! Grow some fuckin balls. I live in Florida and gators are everywhere. If they are small and stay away from people they are left alone. When they get huge and start walking around in neighborhoods by little kids is when things like this have to happen. Get over it, there is plenty more gators for you to go swimming with you morons.

  • @jamesryanson You're trying to teach pigs to sing bud. It doesn't work, they aren't intelligent enough to understand the process.

  • @jamesryanson

    actually I just don't give a shit about the planet, global warming and this BS, I just like alligators among some species, now when your familly or friends comes in the trouble, sure I'd kill anything even another human, it's just that I don't like the way ppl are enjoying killing em, I never enjoyed killing anything, and I don't understand that

  • @amicka75 Well that's pretty understandable! I like gators to and I completely agree with you!

  • fyou want my POV, I know who should be destroyed here, and that sure is not the gator

  • it can eat a dog or EVEN CHILD!!!

    this is the answer about EVEN CHILD can be hurt. watch?v=h6wOt2iXdc4

  • whats with the indiana jones costume?

  • good, they killed the croc!!! i hate crocs

  • @reconforsales Gators aren't crocs they are different animals

  • damn, humans still kill each other over who believes in the Lord of the Rings book...i mean the bible. same thing basically

  • @cdmillig fuck yu for even sayin sum shit like dat

  • HAHA stupid dumb american shot his mate. Classic yank! Poor alligator.

  • poor alligators... they don't need to kill them.... :(

  • @HugglepuffOboeGirl They actually do need to kill them. I mean they don't have to but the alligator will be released somewhere new and they will automatically travel back to the same spot, so they have to euthanize them

  • wtf are you saying! Humans are the Ultimate Killers, Get your facts straights, BIATCH

  • Like OL'MAN Outdoors on Facebook and follow us for our treestand giveaways!

  • most of the comments I read were really ignorant. If you lived in Florida you would understand that this is a danger all OVER!! If you are so sad that they are removing alligators and relocating some and some need to be killed are you also vegetarian? do you wear leather shoes and handbags? some of your comments lack life consistency. We have to do what we have to do. Some one said gator land??? someone else said relocate them?? where too? and someone said to limit having children....

  • @INDYLDS I agree. You what you have to do to stay safe. Nobody should have to avoid their own backyard or pool, or the sidewalk because theres an alligator there. They arent a cat or dog. If you get close enough, you have a very good chance of being attacked. And whoever said to limit having children...its shame their parents didn't stop having children before they were born because now we have to hear stupid comments like these.

  • push 5 repeatedly on your keyboard! LoL!

  • @DweebyGeek not at all

  • @kavoogie not the shooting. The dude's leg going up and down!
