Another senseless killing, just an undocumented gator migrating, as is natural.

Comments very strange, that her history of homoessness, vagrancy, inability to follow instructions shouldn't be mentioned for wandering into a well-mared no-go wetland. And yes, "humanely killed" seems a misnomer - executed.
