Trapper called to kill Alligator!
Why?
If someone is dumb enough to take dogs to a pond area, and let them off leash to wander, why has poor alligator got to die.
Surely owner should be charged with allowing dogs off leash, and cruelty to animals?
My entire sympathy is with alligator, and poor dog who died!
Do you know what a “sacrificial diode” is in a water heater? It’s a replaceable metal rod that gets eaten up by ions in the water, dying so the water heater can live on. This was a “sacrificial pet.” Of course, given that a huge percentage of dogs in shelters are unwanted pit bulls, this one can be easily replaced.
