Look what was found in the waters of New Orleans...

Now this is an Alligator!
This gator was found in New Orleans swimming down the street.
21 FT long, 4,500 lbs, around 80 years old minimum.


Specialists said that he was looking to eat humans because he was too old to catch animals. This crocodile was killed by the army last Sunday at 3:00 pm, currently he is in the freezer at the Azur hotel. The contents of it's stomach will be analyzed this Friday at 2:30pm.

Sweetie, check this out on Snopes.com. The croc wasn't caught in New Orleans, and he wasn't quite as large as stated in this listing. This went around at my work and I just couldn't believe it. Sorry. No matter where he came from, I sure wouldn't want to meet up with him

...sure...let's kill anything we can justify killing...we can put a man on the moon, but we can't move a large animal to somewhere where everyone will be safe...

...the alligators reward for having lived so long and avoided man to date? *Kaboom*...

...so let's just kill it and enjoy the drama of it all!!!

I can't believe they killed it! Surely they could have found room in a zoo somewhere! People would flock to see a croc that big!

I think they cared more about the rep and credit they would get for finding something this big , if they found it in new orleans which i doubt for some reason ,and even if he ate human im sure it was the dead decomposing bodies in the water , not thats its anybetter but i doubt it was found there , i mean 80 years old , was there a real need to kill it :(

That pic was taken in Africa

Dont you just love the made up stories and drama that the net spews out?

ROTFLMAO

Do you really think i would wade around in that crap if there was even 1 crock in the water?

Hell No!

This is one of the most gullible message boards on all the internets.
