When Alligators Attack Allentown!

[eric_hinkle]

Okay, this is a new one -- a six-foot-long alligator was caught in Allentown. No, seriously. Local odds are that it's someone escaped pet, or that it was let go when it got to be too much to handle

Awww, poor gator, treated like he is some sort of criminal. -_-;;;

[eric_hinkle]

He's probably better off where he is now. And who the heck lets a 6-foot-long gator roam around loose?

Aw man, so THAT'S where that gator went that I had with me when I went up to AC this summer. Little guy got out of my bag when I was in the Dealer's Den, and I was *wondering* where he took off to. Just ship him back down here to Florida. ;D

I figured you'd like this one. ;)

"teleporting gators attack humanity" That plot would probably be too sophisticated for the SyFy channel.

[eric_hinkle]

Now that you mention it -- yeah.

[fizer]

I would so watch that anyway. ;-)

alliporter? telegator?

Maybe this is why socks keep disappearing from my dryer.

It is odd just how many people try keeping these animals as pets. If they want reptiles, maybe they should try something more inoffensive, like an iguana?

Also... six feet long and fifty pounds? I don't know much about gators, but that sounds kinda skinny to me.

While I do agree that this is almost certainly an escaped pet

Thanks for the information about the wandering gators.
