Showing a family proudly displaying the record-sized alligator it brutalized for five hours is nothing to celebrate or applaud ["Monster catch," News, Aug. 19]. Rather, this hubris and arrogance toward other living creatures should cause us to reflect on our treatment of and compassion for others that share this planet.
