This is Rylmad's husband speaking so don't count it against her

What people have to realize is that this is a television show not showing someone participating in a hobby like big game hunting. This is the livelihood of the individuals being filmed and they are doing it for money for their families.

It would be similar to filming a beef slaughterhouse and then wondering why fair chase was not allowed for the cows. Although there are more efficient ways to harvest alligators(farming), it is the way that they do it and it assists in population control.

All that being said I agree that it would be somewhat humorous to see the gator get the upper hand once in awhile.
