Texas lady shoots massive gator that ate her miniature horse

Let the word ring forth. If you eat this grandma's miniature horse, she is going to take a high-powered rifle and shoot you dead.

It's a message that one alligator did not heed, which is why it's strung up on her balcony.

This alligator clearly underestimated Judy Cochran, a 73-year-old lady from the small town of Livingstone, Texas.

The gator was probably all like: "Imma gonna eat this little horse, and what are you going to do about it? I'm four metres long and I reached my evolutionary peak in the Triassic."

But Judy was not having any of this, taking her rifle and giving it a hefty dose of Texas justice.

"I said, 'Don't mess with Nana,'" Judy told ABC13.

Still in touch with her school classmates, Judy sent around a photo of her with the gator captioned: "This is what I killed on Monday".

This town should make Judy the mayor.

Oh wait, they already did.
