Wow @Foxy I have never seen an Alligator as a pet before. I enjoyed watching this and even brought a tear to my eye.
So sweet.

It’s all good and well, till you get eaten!

No kidding huh! While I wouldn't want one (they are still wild animals), as long as the pet has a choice, then that's fine. Tho I do think animals like that should stay in the wild.

 

[mist]

I agree

 

[Sweet Ann]

How odd to choose a wild animal for an emotional support animal.
I wouldn’t want to be his neighbour.

 

[Foxy]

He raised all his animals from birth @Sweet Ann, they are all domesticated. Although I love all animals, reptiles, and in particular alligators, wouldn't be my choice for a pet. To each his/her own I guess. Wally does seem, however, to be a very docile, unusually passive gator.

 

[Catsmother]

Wouldn't want to upset it but he really does have it trained. I think it's kind of cute.

 

[Sweet Ann]

As you said, @Foxy, to each his/her own. Even though his animals are domesticated, you never know if an animal could turn on you.

I still wouldn’t want to live next door to anyone with domesticated formerly wild animals.

There is some one not that far from where I live who has a domesticated very large unattractive boar living with them. I don’t even like looking at it.

I wonder if someone needs paperwork to own a domesticated, formerly wild animal? I assume you would, depending on where you live.

very cute

As others have said he IS a wild animal no matter if he is now domesticated. He can 'turn' on you at any time , and then what?
