A Jersey gator to visit WDW...

[clombardi]

As if FL doesn't have enough alligators, we New Jerseyans are now sending our extras to WDW! (Who knew we even had extra alligators!)

Check out the beginning of this article from the Atlantic City Press printed on 8/12/08....

"CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE - A 4-foot alligator found alongside a road in Burlington County last week will get a free trip to Disney World.
Or, at least, the wetlands around it.

Fred Schubert found the alligator last week in a crate alongside the road near his home in the Lower Bank section of Washington Township. The alligator's mouth was taped shut, which must have made the task of wrestling the gator into his pickup truck somewhat easier for Schubert, a construction contractor.

The Cape May County Park & Zoo agreed to take the alligator - a female - temporarily, but not for public display, senior zookeeper Kevin Wilson said.

Instead, she and any others that have outgrown their private suburban menageries will go to a sanctuary in Florida to live out their days."

Do you think the reporter really meant Gatorland?

There was an article last week that a 4 foot alligator was found outside an apartment in Fair Lawn.

What is wrong with people? You keep an alligator as a pet and when it gets too big you just let it go! It could hurt someone - not to mention if it had survived to winter it would have died from the cold.
