Angola Warden: "I won't shoot the gators"
Posted on 5/23/11 at 1:04 pm

In a CNN interview, the Angola Warden said that they are shooting all animals in the flooded areas---except the alligators. He said that the animals (beavers, muskrats, snakes, etc.) get in the way of sandbagging activities, but the gators are important as a deterrent to inmates trying to escape. The Warden went on to say that Angola has a reputation to maintain---that if the guards don't get you the gators will.
Incidently---some inmates are helping with the sandbagging.

Hard to focus on your escape when you're up to your arse in gators. Ha.

That man's past and present actions have allowed me to look past the ridiculousness of his first name.

That sounds like something Burl would say.

i have family that works there....they used to allow hunting in angola for some of the employees, but someone once shot an alligator that hung out in this one area, and from then on, the warden wouldn't let anyone hunt
he is very partial to them
or something along those lines

Not sayin he is full of shite, but my brother was sent to help guard Angola this past week due to the flooding and they were told to shoot the gators, they were too close to the cattle.

I think people are overly afraid of Gators.

I think there is now way to be too afraid of gators. I know they don't want to mess with us any more than we want with them, but they can still frick your world up.

In all my years in La, I know exactly one person that has been bitten by a gator. It was a little one my brother and I were keeping as a pet and my bro set him down on some hot pavement. Gator freaked out and when he went to pick him back up he bit him on the hand.
Other then that, no one. And lets just say I have been in close contact with a few gators.

Yeah growing up in LA, I never really feared gators, but I did respect their habitat. However, after spending some time in Australia, I fear their salt water crocs. We are a meal to them. They hunt for people.

They are only shooting animals that could potentially damage the levee system as in,hogs, nutria, etc. Of course if a copper-mouth rattle moccasin came slithering up its fate would be sealed just as it would in any other scenario.
