It’s a male. The day will come when he’s not so cuddly. Reptile rescue is wonderful but alligators are not domestic animals, they have wild instincts. Seems foolhardy to me.

PS I have a mature male dove. (Bird of Peace, right?)  Even he attacks my hand sometimes when I feed him.

I saw that video and have to say --how freaking weird!!! Come on--a support critter that could very well turn on you and eat you!!! Absolutely ridiculous!!! Am surprised that is even legal!! an alligator is only happy--- and I use the word "happy" very loosely,--- when their belly is full of other animals or PEOPLE!!!!

Just saw this on the news a few minutes ago. It is insane to be that close to an alligator. The leash serves no purpose..if he decides he is going to take off...he will just drag the girl behind him. FIL lived on a golf course in Florida for many years...it was not uncommon for a gator to come up near their lanai...saw one a couple of times...scared me half to death!

For an emotional support animal, I vote for a puppy or a kitten.

I totally agree ..... and if it plays out that way ....

Wally eating his "owner" isn't very supportive now, is it?
