Wasn't there a story last year about some lady who had a pet gator that would sleep with her and she used to ride it on her motorbike.

All nursing homes should have this type of therapy.

This isn't that bad. No different than a herpetologist bringing a bunch of pet snakes, or an entomologist bringing a bunch of spiders to a classroom and letting kids hold them. The alligator seems docile and small enough for this to be a reasonably safe activity.

It's an exciting experience that can provide a different mental challenge - probably just what people stuck in a nursing home need.

After surviving 200 million years as a top predator, who would have expected crocodilians had a latent capacity for loving humans?

You want to sell me on emotional support animals, ok I can believe a dog fits fits the bill. Anything else and I hope you die in a fire.

alliators have a brain the size of a quarter...they are almost completely driven by instinct. Since the two main instinctual behaviors that I can think of are eating and fricking, I think Ima pass on dealing with a pet alligator.

My Mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.

They, like pythons and other reptiles, are hardwired to kill. It's stupid to treat them like pets. That one may never bite anyone but if it gets big enough it will gulp someone, probably a child.
