It has become chic among the radical left to criticize the act of hunting, whether it be a big or small game, and whether or not the hunt was engaged for reasons of conservation.

It’s easy to understand why some are upset with hunting in general. It’s not an activity for everyone, the same as knitting or golf is not for everyone. When you add in the emotional aspect of taking an animal’s life, it’s just too much for some people.

Predictably, celebrities take a great deal of heat on the subject as well, thanks to their prominence in pop culture and the accessibility of their social media accounts.

NFL player Wyatt Teller learned this lesson the hard way this week.

NFL star Wyatt Teller has received a fierce backlash from animal rights activists after he shot, killed, and then posed with a 10-foot long alligator.

The Cleveland Browns guard, 26, was captured on video carrying a 200lb beast around his shoulders.

One response read: “This is disgusting! So cruel! Poor animal didn’t deserve to die just for that guy to have fun… someone do something please.”
Another commented: “Is carrying a dead animal supposed to be impressive?”
As another wrote: “Did he kill that gator just for a weightlifting vid? Lame bro.”
Of course, most of those who criticized Teller failed to recognize a few simple facts about alligator hunting in Florida.
First, these hunts are tightly regulated, with an extensive permitting process being a prerequisite to taking an animal.
Secondly, in many parts of Florida, the alligator population must be controlled in this manner, due to the species’ massive impact on the local ecosystem.  Without this bit of conservation, the species would create an unhealthy imbalance in The Sunshine State.
