Pet alligator seized from liquor store in NY



A pet alligator has been seized from a liquor store on New York's Long Island.
The Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says the 3-foot-long, illegally kept alligator was removed Wednesday from Alpine Wines and Liquors in Wading River.
Authorities say two employees of the store were issued tickets for possession of an illegal animal. The American alligator will be sent to a sanctuary out of state.
The store's proprietor told Newsday that an employee had asked her to take care of it while he was apartment hunting and that she believed the animal was a monitor lizard, not an alligator.

  1. What's wrong with having a pet alligator?

    I think if I had one, it would get along great with my pet shark.

    His name is Fluffy.

  20. that's pretty ballsy for the liquor store to do that. but in their defense, i used to work at one several years ago and it would come in handy with the various beligerent drunks that don't understand why you're kicking them out.

  25. Unless he was treating it badly he should've been allowed to keep it, a pet is a powerful thing to some people, nearly liek a child in some cases
