Barry recently alerted me to this tale of alleged hunting prowess in the nether regions of Loo-Z-Anna. I voiced my opinion that this was an ignominious ending for such a creature, trapped by a few Cajuns and popped in the head with a .22 to the head. Barry responed as follows:
Now you just sound like a liberal.
“Oh, but isn’t that unfair? Why don’t you give the animal a gun, too, and then see if you want to try to shoot it?”
Do you know what it’s called when a man can use a gun to kill a deadly killing machine of an animal, but instead try to use an inferior weapon? Retarded.
I believe that you may also be overlooking the fact that those guys had to track the animal and put their trap in a spot where it would take it, then come up with a rig that the animal could not escape after some failed attempts. It’s not like they just pressed a button and caught a gator. They stalked it for two years. It’s not like they just dropped a coin in a slot and won a jackpot.
YOU HOLD UP THERE, SON.
I'm not saying I find it wrong to kill the gator. If you made the argument, 'Well, that's the best way to kill it and preserve the skin/meat to sell at a high price, I can get behind that. I just want to know that some of these rednecks are getting taken out from time to time whilst doing this.
I've eaten gator and it is delicious. I just want to taste the defeat and failure of some dumb rube who lost and arm/life in the pursuit of my stew/boots. Is that so wrong? It's the same thing with conflict diamonds. It's not my fault that broads/gangstas love them and they're all sparkly and beautiful. If I have to indirectly fund genocide or civil war to give my lady friends what they want, well, so be it. I didn't tell the Africans to go all bat$hit and start wars over them. They decided that through their own maleducated and impoverished minds/hungry stomachs. The main black dude in Blood Diamond made out alright for himself, DID HE NOT? He should send L'il Wayne, Jay-Z, and (insert stupid white popular actress' name so I don't seem racist) a thank you note.
All the best things in life come from/create conflict. Diamonds. Oil. Blow. Chronic. Trafficking women. John Woo movies. Let's just say that for good things there is a price to pay, and we, as Americans, like to outsource that price to people in developing/not even close to developing nations.
So, in summation, as long as a few swamp people are killed/maimed every year while hunting gators, I approve of the .22 to the head coup de grace. I know a few people who've gone out that way and let's be honest, it's the simplest way to take a person out. Smaller caliber is cheaper, quieter, and lacks the power to exit the skulls, bouncing around the brain inflicting maximum damage and minimal gore. You can probably shoot someone in the head at close range with a .22 in a white suit with white gloves and not ruin them.
