The 3.4-metre-long reptile was seized by authorities after growing concerns about safety and its health.
Authorities have seized an alligator that was being kept illegally in a pool in an upstate New York home.
The home owner had built on an addition to his home and installed an in-ground swimming pool for the 3.4-metre-long reptile, and allowed children to get in the water with it.The owner's licence to keep the alligator expired in 2021. The state determined at that time the alligator's holding area failed to meet safety standards.
Mr Cavallaro said he had treated the alligator like it was his child and he had never put anyone in danger.The reptile was sent to a licensed caretaker until a place could be found where it could receive permanent care, according to a release from the agency.
