    Yeah I'd prefer to pose with it after it's dead. Maybe with a stick in its mouth.

    What would these same people be saying if they saw kids way younger than that stabbing wild hogs with knives? There are definitely pictures of me around as a kid on the back of a trussed up gator in Beckham Swamp. I wouldn't worry too much about what people who know absolutely nothing about wildlife have to say about wildlife.

    However, if I am running an animal kill business, the last thing that I am going to do is allow the public at large to interact in any way. That was just dumb...

    Not “over 1,000 pounds” and does not look to be more than 12ft. Seriously, you would think that Roland Martin is measuring these things. Below is my 12’6” 768 lb gator looked like. There is no way that gator is over 1/3 larger. It looks to be more like 500lbs. But why should a news outlet care about accuracy?

    Posing on a live animal is stupid and counterproductive to safety. I hope that animal control specialist realizes that now. MG

    Dang it that's a monster lizard.
    Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

    9' and 300#, and that's just disrespectful and stupid. Relocate it to another place or put a bullet in its brain and drag it somewhere the crabs can take care of it.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    And to think we skipped on that gator to go after another one MG. It worked out though for both parties.

    People are curious (I don't or won't have a problem with that and understand everyone wanting to gather and see a gator up close) and Yankees are gonna yank.
    Bad decision making by the trapper!

    Joe Maffo and the critter management crew are carnies. Not surprising. Shameful though.
