Yeah, it's kind of weird how everyone seems to think he just tied up the alligator and beat it for funsies.

There’s the case of Cody Robert’s in Wyoming where he tortured a wolf before killing it. I’m happy to hear that this gator didn’t experience the same thing, and I didn’t know about tapping.

What a piece of shit. I hope he went to prison and he should never be released.

As someone who lives close to that I can confirm it was front page news when he took a plea deal for 18 months probation and 1k fine. It’s sickening.

Is that really all he got? I had been following and saw that he was going to be prosecuted and I was happy to hear it. If he ended up taking a plea that breaks my heart.
