It's simple really. If the gator grabs the hog without the guy throwing marshmallows right in front of the gator, the video is pretty cool, and nature at its finest. Tricking the pig to jump right in front of the gators with bait, just for entertainment, is pretty unethical, if you want to really discuss the ethics of it.

Right, let's also quit tricking hardtails into getting swallowed by monster tuna.

So what is "ethical" about shooting a pig, that's not nature. The only difference IMO is that the marshmallow is much cheaper than a bullet, also a native animal got a meal out of it.

Tricking a deer to jump in front of your gun with corn......

Nothing unethical about feeding a hog with a marshmellow, if it was smarter it wouldn't have fallen for the bait knowing there was a gator right there...
