I agree, some animals shouldn't be allowed.I don’t think it’s crazy for the government to prevent most people from having alligators as pets. Weasels, yes, Alligators, no. You can’t just “punish people when they do bad”, if it was super easy to have alligators as pets they would be released into parks and lakes and golf courses incessantly once they got to big for the fish tank they bought for it. It already happens too much with illegal ones, I shudder to think what would happen if they were easily allowed. It’s not good for the alligators, the wild animals where they are released, the pets they eat, or the people who might get attacked. And you’d never find the dumper anyway.
We have had a few alligators released in Chicago and/or surrounding area because of them getting too big and the people didn't have the room and money to properly care for them.
What's wrong here, he did it all legally and they still took the animal after all those years of good care and no incidents.
