Home of the strange

So a few days ago I pick up the local newspaper and read this. Now there is a follow up article. What gets me is not so much the fact that there was an alligator in Montana, but the way the situation was handled. Gotta love it.

I just like the fact that the newspaper is called the Daily Inter Lake.

The idealist in me wishes they had just caught the dang thing and moved it to a more suitable place. But the realist says, how far away is the most suitable place, and how do you reason with a wild animal and say "Don't attack us. We are only going to take you from the place you call home and take you somewhere far away in an uncomfortable cage. So be nice and put your teeth away." Not going to happen. It's too bad it had to be killed, but I would rather the people be safe than the animal be safe.
