The Most Insane Thing You’ll See Today: Guy Hunts Alligator With Electric Eel On A String

Some videos are just hard to describe. A video of a Brazilian guy hunting an alligator by tying an electric eel to a string and luring in the reptile so it bites it and gets zapped to death…that’s one of those videos. Seriously, this is just…I don’t even know. Suffice it to say that, if Sarah Palin does this on her TV show, I will DVR that sh*t faster than you can say “Ridiculously enjoyable animal cruelty!”

You can read more about what’s actually going on (did you know the alligator is getting killed by the current and not the voltage?) here in this fascinating conversation on Reddit.

Watch the video below. Warning it is a little disturbing.
