A Western New York neighborhood is rallying behind a person who saved an ailing 11-foot, 750-pound alligator in a pool inside his house — the place youngsters had been invited to swim with the mild large.
The 34-year-old reptile was seized Wednesday from the Hamburg home, which was decked out with an in-ground swimming pool made to appear like a pond.
The home-owner “allegedly allowed members of the general public to get into the water to pet the unsecured alligator,” the state Division of Environmental Conservation stated.
