Alligator Found In NY Yard - ecanadanow.com


21 May 2011

A resident in western New York stunned local authorities when he called to report that there was an alligator loose in his yard.

Authorities in the city of Jamestown, New York received the call in the morning about an 3-foot long alligator being loose on a resident’s property. Animal control was able to capture the alligator without any problems. Authorities do not yet know where the alligator came from or how long it had been on the loose in the neighborhood.

Animal experts warn against keeping alligators for pets. People often buy them when they are small, but when they get to big and become dangerous they set them free outside instead of calling the proper authorities. Anybody that has a alligator for a pet and is trying to get rid of it should contact their local animal control agency.
