Not a very dignified end for a magnificent creature. Taped up mouth and hung with 2 straps from some green and yellow POS

They are a business, harvested like cattle, chickens, etc that many eat or make products from everyday. As far as the heavy equipment, he is a 1,000 lbs, would you suggest just slinging it over one's back and walking off?

They have to have a cull every year otherwise the alligators become a big threat to humans. That alligator was killed quickly with a shot to the head, as with every other alligator that gets killed during the alligator season.

True, and a very regulated hunting season it is. Alligators are prolific and trust me, there is no shortage of them.
