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!
So sad all the way around, I just don’t understand anyone who allows their dogs to run off leash. It isn’t only gators that are a threat. Cars, coyote, bobcats and other dogs can be a threat you your dog no matter the size. A responsible owner does the right thing and keeps their dog ON LEASH unless in their own yard or home. It is our duty to keep them safe.
