    No, I of all people, know that humans don't play fair. Which is why I won't really care if one of those dudes ends up as dinner.

    Cows are domesticated live stock. The alligators the Swamp People hunt are wild. There is a bit of a difference even if the end result is similar.

    Also, I never said I thought there should be fair chase, I just observed that there wasn't much.

    How does an observation on fair chase vs. not fair chase = having an emotional reaction? No emotion here. Honestly, I couldn't give the square root of a rat's butt how they hunt gators, so long as they don't deplete the supply.

    Now, if one of the Swamp People were to get eaten on an episode, I might get an emotion, but not the one you're alluding to...
