Also from what I understand, the gator was removed.
Alligators are--well--alligators. If they see lunch walking by (I doubt alligators have the concept of "leash") they'll partake.

Alligators rarely leave the comfortable confines of their pond. Keep Fifi well away from the shore and things should be fine.
