Because it's so like being pro-choice!
Sometime over the weekend, someone snuck onto private property and killed and dismembered a nine-foot alligator that had taken up residence in a local business owner's pond. The property owner has posted a reward for any information that could lead to finding the poachers, and now the local humane society and a couple of other groups have added to the reward.

This does not sit well with some people.

A few choice segments behind the cut for the linkaphobes.


3500 dollars....why not 130 million...that seems to be the going rate for dogs. Why not make it the rate for alligators. You PETA supporters make me SICK!!!!!!!!

Why don't all you who are so upset about the killing and dismemberment of this helpless, inoffensive alligator come on over to Broad and 13th Streets every 3rd Friday at 5 pm to protest the killing and dismembering of unborn human babies. Surely, as helpless and inoffensive as they are, they rate some of your outrage. Right? (Because the two things are SO VERY ALIKE YOU KNOW!)

BR549jr, I agree, Now they want us to pay for everyones doctor bills,jeeze !!!!!! Whats next leash laws just to walk your alligator? (Personally, I like to keep mine off the leash. He's more effective a guard dog that way!)

If the store owner knew it was there, then He could be charged with endangering the public, and haboring an animal not meant for domestic residence. Was the pond fenced off with warning signs? If not, then the owner was placing the general public at risk. If I were him, I would keep my mouth shut, and hope it goes away, before those crazy lawyers smell blood in the water and come after some of that money. Sounds crazy doesnt it? But this is just another reason why, we as a nation need tort reform, because it liables too many(BUT NOT ALL) for STUPID reasons, for nothing more than making a quick buck. ~marandan~ (Yes, because it's totes the property owner's fault that a nine-foot gator took up residence there!)

What if some little kid, was walking through the area, and the gator grabbed him. Would the general public and most lawyers not be screaming to punish the landowner? HMMMMM? You animal lovers place more value in one non-domestic animal, than you do your fellow human beings. What if the people who killed this Gator, was some hungry homeless people who live in the woods? But they left the carcass, before they could prepare it, for fear of being caught. There are many possible scenarios, to answer what really happened, but to only feel rage towards how the gator met his demise, try to think of all the possibilities of how that gator ,made other animals meet their demise. ~marandan~


It seems some people just don't realize that they already lost the argument and any credibility they might have had. I'm just waiting for someone to break a [info]jurisimprudence law, really. The sad part is, I probably have to deal with one or more of these morons every day at work.

Just to show that we aren't all idiots here, there are commenters showing more common sense than this, and some snarkers calling the especially stupid ones out on their stupidity. One of the snarkers calling marandan out on his bullshit is actually my mother! :D! She's nine levels of awesome.

Just knowing that nothing the doctors or nurses do can stop the pain scares the crap out of me. Nightmare fodder indeed.
