This was in lake Conroe just north of Houston They killed it because it's a very popular lake for recreation. Btw that is a full size deer in its mouth
@904MALCOM Also, they're not just hunted for skins and souvenirs. People eat alligator meat. Almost nothing is wasted. Even the fat. In my home state of Louisiana, at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette they've discovered that gator fat has a chemical composition very close to soybean oil. They're exploring ways to use it as bio diesel. It could some day power vehicles as an alternate fuel source. You eat seafood? It's caught by commercial fishermen. This is basically no different.
@904MALCOM There's MILLIONS of alligators in the southern states, and only so much available habitat. Mature alligators have no predators. Without hunting a limited number of them IN THE WILD, they'd overpopulate, kill off their natural food / prey animals, causing imbalance in the ecosystem, and venture into human populated areas in search of food. This puts people, mostly CHILDREN, in danger. Even MILES from the swamps.
i hate how humans go out to find the largest animal left on the planet of that species and just murk'em for no fuckn reason dey aint gon learn till animals change up there diets and start huntin for humans and only humans
@904MALCOM and what would you do if that last large animal just happens to be chasing you trying to eat you alive? are you gonna let the largest animal eat you so that the animal can continue being the largest on the planet or are you gonna live and call/get help to kill the largest animal and save yourself and others? just curious
@usdmarket well duh if a animal gets to a point where it starts going to places where people live yeah u should kill'em but what i dont like is how they travel miles and miles to romote areas to find them when there just livin in there own territory, eating there own food, and not causing any trouble to people like when game hunters go look for lions, monster crocs, sharks, elephants ect. to kill them for skin or suvineirs which is some bullshit .
Faked! The photos were retouched. It was not the biggest. The vid-poster is a fool for spreading the hoax.
If you want to see some really big gators I'll take you on a tour of GreenSwamp & other isolated locations in Florida where they are bigger than 17 ft.
@injunjoe3172 You can't believe they killed it? I can. That deer could easily be a child instead, and not necessarily in the swamp either. They sometimes show up in our city parks and neighborhoods, MILES from any swamp. That's one reason we have a legal gator hunting season, to prevent overpopulation. I also live in gator country, in south Louisiana, and I can say for sure that this alligator is NOT one of a kind. We don't see them every day, but there's LOTS of VERY BIG ones around here.

I live in gator country and have seen some real monsters, but nothing that compares to that beast. I can't believe they killed an icon of the species; and no doubt, a one-of-a-kind! They should have cpatured that gator for all to marvel at. What a waste. Authority at its finest......
@abbeykroeter It doesn't happen often. It's pretty rare. But when gators do show up in public it's cause for concern. We have a bayou (small river, for those unfamiliar) through our city. We don't worry about an occasional small one swimming by or lying on the bank. They move on. It's when larger ones get out among our houses and children, like when the boy in Slidell was attacked, that's a problem. Point is, your reply to me looks like you see alligator hunting as ridiculous. It's not.
@abbeykroeter And before you say something about human encroachment on alligator habitat, my home town has been in the same place for about 250 years, miles from the swamp, and alligator sightings were all but unheard of until recent years, when the alligator population really took off.
@abbeykroeter You're poking fun at my statement and I don't find it funny. I said in SOME places. OF COURSE we don't run into gators at the supermarket. However, more than once they've been found at our city park, where our CHILDREN are at risk. I'm not talking about some place in the swamp. I live in a small city of 35,000 people, MILES from any swamp. Someone's dog recently was killed in a wealthy gated subdivision. Both places are short walking distance from my home.
It's kinda pointless to debate the origin of the pictures in this video. Also, I haven't looked at all the comments, but I think I only saw one that got it right. The world record alligator is NOT from Texas or Florida. It's from Louisiana. It was caught on Marsh Island, one of Louisiana's gulf coast barrier islands, in 1890, by Edmond "Ned" McIlhenny, the founder of Tabasco sauce. It measured 19 feet, 2 inches long.
I don't get why they killed it? It ate a deer... was that not ok? Wtf.... who knows how big it might of gotten.. now we'll never know. =( People suck.
@charwelch18 Right on, charwelch. They probably thought "better kill this thing because it's been in a few backyards!"... which is true of many gators, but also (usually) get away from humans for good reason. They are smarter than most people think. Those folks use the same mentality that helped us spread to nearly every square foot of the earth. "Eliminate every chance of discomfort possible". Though the chance of danger is always there for us in some form (other people, etc..) or another.
I am getting tired of people killing animals cuz they grow to be 1 inch longer than regular!! We should start killing humans that are oversized. there shouldnt be any problem since we do that to the animals :)
@yeti576 They likely wrote it with no intention of doing the murdering, which I am against also, but notice how quickly everyone jumps to assume they meant fat (the gator was just large), and protect all humans no matter what. That is why we are everywhere, consuming too much, fouling up the environment. More people, more space, more food, more stuff.. more people, more space, and on and on... yeah, we have to PROTECT PEOPLE. There's not enough huh? You really want more? Not looking ahead are we
These pictures have been posted all over youtube claiming to have been taken everywhere from Alabama on Weiss Lake to Texas and pretty much every state in between. Good thing people are smart enough to know bull when they see it!!
@Spinoterror31896 The first alligators observed by non-natives back in the 16th and 17th century were that big and bigger on a regular basis. It's how big they were suppose to get. Some of those genetics are harder to come by, but we'll see some like that again if we can just stop killing them because they are big. I think it's okay to hunt animals, since gators and other animals are up to strong numbers again, but keep it smart and under control. Bring the biggest to an animal park.
That gator looked bigger in camera and they did a little photoshopping to make it look bigger. The people who say they should of relocated it, you should try to catch a twelve footer. And the biggest gator caught and recorded in Texas was in lake texana which was 14 foot and ive seen a 16 footer in lake texana
that's an incredible animal, but I don't think we should have to kill them unless they pose a direct and immediate threat to humans. I would think that relocation would work hopefully move them to an unpopulated area or hell give them to a zoo or an exhibit a lot of people would pay money to be able to see such a huge animal. I mean these guys have barely had to evolve since the dinosaurs they are one of nature's few perfect hunters and I think we should respect that to an extent
@DMan50LB In some places, it's necessary to hunt alligators to keep them from posing a threat to humans. In my home state of Louisiana, we have nearly two million of them. They're not everywhere, but our swamps and marshes are FULL of them. Despite having so many alligators, we've only had two documented alligator attacks on humans since 1948. This low number of attacks is largely due to the fact that we have a legal alligator hunting season and harvest about 30,000 of them annually.
@Stingray8854 It's also largely due to the fact that humans really don't have to go near alligators to live their humanly lives. When do we HAVE to get into contact with alligators? When we go to work? Maybe if you are swimming in the swamps for a living. When we go to the supermarket? Yeah, in the produce section they almost got me! When we go to recreation after work? Yeah, right on Bourbon street one almost got me! And at the bowling alley! Pesky varmints are takin' over! Better go kill em.
The photographs are genuine. However, they were not taken over Lake Conroe or any of the other locations mentioned. Nor were they taken from a news helicopter. In fact, the photographs were taken by Terri Jenkins, of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in a wildlife refuge near Savannah, Georgia .
Sucks to see such an amazing creature be killed for no reason. People are such idiots sometimes. Put the gator in a zoo for people to look at, why kill one of god's oldest creations. Such bullshit!
Why in gods name would they kill that amazing alligator..... leave the fuckin thing alone... never hurt nobody... worse comes to worse put it in a zoo for poepple to see... dont kill the fuckin thing christ... people suck
Fuck you for being a stereotype on Texas there is actually a better money efficiency going in to the goverment then any other state... So stop calling everyone in Texas dumb fucking hillbilly cus there not
this makes me sick. whoever thinks this is ok needs to be shot seriously if this gator was a world record why the fuck kill it! it could of grown bigger stupid asses and do you know how amazing this creature is? of course not because texas is full of fucking stupid cowboy hillbilly dumb fucks that didnt graduate school. i hope yall get ate by an alligator.
@TheExoticAnimal Um, i'm a Texan; proud to be, i have graduated and am in college for firefighting, you shouldn't judge all of us on this poor example of killing this creature. I happen to love animals and i own guns simply to protect the ones i love. It is partly true that there are rednecks here; some of my dads family for example, i do agree that the gator shouldn't have been killed but maybe tranquilized to measure.
I'm trying not to be rude but please don't stereotype my states people : ]
@cwSHOSHONEcw i know i agree i was already pissed that day i wrote that i didnt mean to be rude to texas people...... i was just saying even here in south carolina ect....... there are massive amounts of people who kill these animals and they do it in the utmost evil ways. personally i feel they should only kill the gator if its over 10ft because even a five foot could kill you so why they have laws of 6ft or more it needs to be killed is beyond me. and it still makes me really mad
This video is CRAP!!! The picture of the alligator hanging from the backhoe was taken at Bar X Ranch in Brazoria County, TX in 2006 about 45 miles south of Houston off of Hwy 288. It was 14.5 ft long. There was a big article on this in the Brazosport Facts (Brazoria County's newspaper). Call them and verify if you want. I hate the internet and it's B.S. lies sometimes!!!!!!!
Many area's taken from natives and animals? we are killing ourselves when we kill any majestic creature! "make way for them for they are prehistoric and have been here a long time, they should greatly be "RESPECTED" and only killed if need be! which has been done in bad judgment thru out history?
It's actually the humane thing to do. Oversized gators have a huge ecological impact on the gator population. They eat too much food and take up too much territory. They're overly aggressive. They're killed and the hides and meat is sold. It's not like they're just hunting them into extinction. Alligators are abundant in these parts.
they kill all alligators over 6 feet i think it is because they are big enough to start harming people especially little children and pets. they dont do it just to do it they have a purpose
are you serious? caution tape thats a tie down strap so they maneuver it easier and who cares if they killed it some body has to manage them or they will over populate and starve each other to death, im sure theres plenty more out there its not like they are endangered
@mikeyg17368 None of that was relevant. But they kill them because humans have invaded there habitat and they breed like crazy, so eevrything over 6 ft (lethal size) gets killed so your kids one day if you choose to live in florida wont be slaughtered by one. Yes its wrong, yes people should not move there. But in REALITY, this is taking care of business. why are you so mad?
@TheEmarbe taking care of business my ass! if you dont want your kids to be eaten or killed or pets then dont let them play by the fucking pond idiots. and get a new reality check look around! animals are being hunted for furs and for there meat look at the wolves and leopards and look at elephants i mean seriously WE are the ones invading THERE land now in my opinion if you dont want to be killed then dont live where the fucking gators are! and stop duck hunting maybe then the gators can eat!
@rednecks493 because that is the strongest part of an alligator. If it wasnt completely dead it could have a spasm or something and take someone out with it. Its kinda like a snake's head after you cut it off; it could still bite. Hope this helps
why would they kill such a magnificent animal? why not just relocate it? well I guess who ever killed has a pretty neat drinking story to tell his buddies...asshole
This story, and these pics have been passed around in an email for yeara now. The names of both the lake, and television station tbe helicopter is associated with changes from email to email.
all you damn haters talkin shit bout them killin the gator must not have kids or pets that like bein rounf the water gators are dangerous and as matter of fact gator huntin is fun as shit and they taste great by te way
Such ignorant people need their breeding rights revoked. A truly magnificent creature and some self righteous son of a bitch has to kill it just because it exists? Sometimes humanity makes me sick!
@OfZion Normally I would agree, but if you read up there it was killed by a game warden in someones back yard. Game Wardens aren't known for going about willy nilly shooting whatever moves, and it was in someones back yard, as in, near people. I'm all for preservation, but not when it puts people in danger. If you would honestly rather see an animal alive rather than a person, feel free to feed yourself to the nearest carnivore. I'm sure it'll appreciate it.
@hybredmoon So we just shoot anything that comes into our yard these days? Especially as more and more people encroach on their habitat, where are they supposed to go? It obviously wasn't threatening anyone and could have been relocated. Looks to me like it was eating quite well without having to kill local residents. It was just another ignorant excuse to kill a magnificent animal.
@LongErect If the thing that comes into my yard is capable of eating me or my loved ones, you bet your ass I shoot it. I shoot it a few times, just to make sure. You would do the same, any claim otherwise is a LIE plain and simple. Simply by being there, it was a threat. How long do you think before it figured out toddlers aren't as hard to catch as deer? Were they supposed to wait until AFTER it ate someone to do something about it? No i think not. More power to them and their correct actions.
@hybredmoon man i gotta agree with longerect on this one. i hunt and eat meat but many people ar too killhappy always were and always will be. sure i would defend my family first if it posed a threat but this creature wasn't threatening anyone. i live in cougar territory and saw many cougars on my property over the years but never shot at one nor would i allow anyone else to do so. if we don't learn to respect nature soon then nature will soon eradicate us all.
@DlSCOVERY7410 I respect your opinion, I'm a hunter myself and I never take more than I can eat. I'm just not willing to take chances on something dangerous being that close to me and my family. It 's just the people that seem to think that animals have more right to life than people do piss me off. No animal has more right to life than any human, I dont care how majestic or awesome it is. Thats all.
@DlSCOVERY7410 They probablly HAD to shoot it because some state laws or laws in general will not allow a captive or non captive crocidile longer than 8-9 feet.Because the animal or crocidile may eat other species and it may it to much of that species
Are you saying a Texas Game Warden is "kill happy"? Please, their job is to protect wildlife. Many Texas Game Wardens are Wildlife Biologists too, they aren't trigger happy rednecks. Also, we do have a 15 day season to hunt Alligator's in Texas, & yes we eat the tasty bastards!
If you don't see a 23 ft. gator as threatening, you're one brave man. You can't even compare it to a Cougar, which we have plenty of in East Texas. It's more like a huge Great White Shark!
@DlSCOVERY7410 In short we're human? Lol all what you said just points out the obvious. It's why we're at the top of the food chain, of course we're not smart enough to handle it either. Gimme a few nukes & I'll solve both our problems B)
@LongErect I agree with you that we as human beings are encroaching on more and more of their habitat and that relocation was probably another option, but with a gator that big, how do you suggest they catch it alive. Im sure there are tools to do so with, but do you know whether the tools were readily available to catch this gator alive and relocate him. I respect the wild but I dont put the wild above human life. Cont'd
@LongErect Maybe you should write Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Target, or maybe your local Home Owners association and ask why they build a store or sub-division on every block. Seriously I have 5 Walmarts, 4 Home Depots, and 4 Targets, and so many sub divisions that they cant fill the homes and thats all in a 15 mile radious. People are wondering why deer are hanging out in the parking lots. I will kill anything that poses a threat to me or my family but I agree we need to stop invading their land.
This was in lake Conroe just north of Houston They killed it because it's a very popular lake for recreation. Btw that is a full size deer in its mouth

@TheExoticAnimal Um, i'm a Texan; proud to be, i have graduated and am in college for firefighting, you shouldn't judge all of us on this poor example of killing this creature. I happen to love animals and i own guns simply to protect the ones i love. It is partly true that there are rednecks here; some of my dads family for example, i do agree that the gator shouldn't have been killed but maybe tranquilized to measure.
I'm trying not to be rude but please don't stereotype my states people : ]

@cwSHOSHONEcw i know i agree i was already pissed that day i wrote that i didnt mean to be rude to texas people...... i was just saying even here in south carolina ect....... there are massive amounts of people who kill these animals and they do it in the utmost evil ways. personally i feel they should only kill the gator if its over 10ft because even a five foot could kill you so why they have laws of 6ft or more it needs to be killed is beyond me. and it still makes me really mad

It was 14.5 ft long. There was a big article on this in the Brazosport Facts (Brazoria County's newspaper). Call them and verify if you want. I hate the internet and it's B.S. lies sometimes!!!!!!!

MusicLuver434 11 months ago
It's actually the humane thing to do. Oversized gators have a huge ecological impact on the gator population. They eat too much food and take up too much territory. They're overly aggressive. They're killed and the hides and meat is sold. It's not like they're just hunting them into extinction. Alligators are abundant in these parts.

MrTye19 1 year ago
@mikeyg17368 None of that was relevant. But they kill them because humans have invaded there habitat and they breed like crazy, so eevrything over 6 ft (lethal size) gets killed so your kids one day if you choose to live in florida wont be slaughtered by one. Yes its wrong, yes people should not move there. But in REALITY, this is taking care of business. why are you so mad?

@TheEmarbe taking care of business my ass! if you dont want your kids to be eaten or killed or pets then dont let them play by the fucking pond idiots. and get a new reality check look around! animals are being hunted for furs and for there meat look at the wolves and leopards and look at elephants i mean seriously WE are the ones invading THERE land now in my opinion if you dont want to be killed then dont live where the fucking gators are! and stop duck hunting maybe then the gators can eat!

OfZion 1 year ago 2
@OfZion Normally I would agree, but if you read up there it was killed by a game warden in someones back yard. Game Wardens aren't known for going about willy nilly shooting whatever moves, and it was in someones back yard, as in, near people. I'm all for preservation, but not when it puts people in danger. If you would honestly rather see an animal alive rather than a person, feel free to feed yourself to the nearest carnivore. I'm sure it'll appreciate it.
hybredmoon 1 year ago
@hybredmoon So we just shoot anything that comes into our yard these days? Especially as more and more people encroach on their habitat, where are they supposed to go? It obviously wasn't threatening anyone and could have been relocated. Looks to me like it was eating quite well without having to kill local residents. It was just another ignorant excuse to kill a magnificent animal.
LongErect 1 year ago
@LongErect If the thing that comes into my yard is capable of eating me or my loved ones, you bet your ass I shoot it. I shoot it a few times, just to make sure. You would do the same, any claim otherwise is a LIE plain and simple. Simply by being there, it was a threat. How long do you think before it figured out toddlers aren't as hard to catch as deer? Were they supposed to wait until AFTER it ate someone to do something about it? No i think not. More power to them and their correct actions.
hybredmoon 1 year ago
@hybredmoon man i gotta agree with longerect on this one. i hunt and eat meat but many people ar too killhappy always were and always will be. sure i would defend my family first if it posed a threat but this creature wasn't threatening anyone. i live in cougar territory and saw many cougars on my property over the years but never shot at one nor would i allow anyone else to do so. if we don't learn to respect nature soon then nature will soon eradicate us all.

Are you saying a Texas Game Warden is "kill happy"? Please, their job is to protect wildlife. Many Texas Game Wardens are Wildlife Biologists too, they aren't trigger happy rednecks. Also, we do have a 15 day season to hunt Alligator's in Texas, & yes we eat the tasty bastards!
If you don't see a 23 ft. gator as threatening, you're one brave man. You can't even compare it to a Cougar, which we have plenty of in East Texas. It's more like a huge Great White Shark!

@LongErect I agree with you that we as human beings are encroaching on more and more of their habitat and that relocation was probably another option, but with a gator that big, how do you suggest they catch it alive. Im sure there are tools to do so with, but do you know whether the tools were readily available to catch this gator alive and relocate him. I respect the wild but I dont put the wild above human life. Cont'd

@LongErect Maybe you should write Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Target, or maybe your local Home Owners association and ask why they build a store or sub-division on every block. Seriously I have 5 Walmarts, 4 Home Depots, and 4 Targets, and so many sub divisions that they cant fill the homes and thats all in a 15 mile radious. People are wondering why deer are hanging out in the parking lots. I will kill anything that poses a threat to me or my family but I agree we need to stop invading their land.
