Frankly, I don't mind that they kill the gators. I know it's regulated, I know it's a booming business, and I know that gators are considered pests down there. And I can respect that.

What bothers me is that they make a spectacle of it. No one should be entertained by the death of an animal. Even game hunters respect the animals they kill. And you know they're only doing it because people think alligators are scary. To bring back the previous counterexample of cattle in a slaughterhouse, why isn't there a tv show showing cattle being slaughtered?

And why in god's name is it on History Channel? That doesn't even make sense.
