I enjoy hiking. My best friend is named John. I am a vegan. My car is a Lexus Hybrid.
I work as an alligator hunter. I own an air boat. I do not eat alligator meat. I sell the alligators I hunt. I do not like to eat gator meat. My dream car is a 1981 Camaro. I actively pursue my desires. I am saving money for a black truck with 33 inch truck tires. I live in Florida.
Have you had any luck with the gator hunting? Have you gotten any closer to purchasing that new truck, or that Camaro you had spoken of? I did catch a nice big gator yesterday! No luck on the truck front, though. That's more of a long-term goal.  It's probably harder to get a new vehicle than a gator!  LOL!  So, what's it like hunting alligators?  Are you scared? It probably depends on the car, haha. I don't really get scared any more, but I try not to get complacent either, because that's when you make mistakes. Have you ever been near a gator?   Only behind glass at the zoo.  Is it true that their jaws are easy to keep shut? Yes! All of their jaw muscles are for keeping their mouth closed around an object, very little muscle goes into opening, so if you can secure their mouth, they will have a hard time opening it. Which zoo did you see a Gator at?  I did a tour of the Midwest and went to St. Louis and Omaha, which both had gators in their zoo.  It was pretty impressive.  They are so quiet and just slip into that water.  We never got to see them eat though, I bet that would have been something. Definitely, they can be fierce. And good at hiding. Down here they can be anywhere! Every outdoor pool here is completely caged in so that you don't get any unwanted gator visitors!   I didn't even think about it!  So do you normally kill them or just give them to others to relocate?  I bet you form an interesting bond even though you are the hunter. I do hunt to kill. I know you are vegan and might not like that idea, but they are almost like pests down here and they can be dangerous. I hunt them in residential areas to make them more safe, and then sell them to those who eat the meat, so at least they are being used. I do definitely respect them though, and would never just kill them if there weren't a purpose.  That makes sense and I know that it can be dangerous.  It's not like alligators want to eat people, but I don't think we can really co-exist.  I am not as extreme as some vegans I know, because if their are rodents in my house I don't care how they are removed! It's definitely a real concern with modern life--how to coexist with nature. You seem to be pretty conscious of that sort of thing, driving a hybrid car and being vegan. I try to respect nature in my own way too.
