DETROIT ( Black truck pulls up to dump body - No he dumps 5 foot alligator ) Flee's area

It was kind of a big deal last June when Detroit Police found two alligators living in an apartment. Apparently, gators as pets is kind of trend because eastside resident Shontez Gibson witnessed someone dumping a five-foot alligator in a vacant lot Thursday night.
They're always so cute when they're little. Then they grow up and become ferocious man-eating animals.
According to WDIV, Gibson and his uncle rescued the gator--pretty brave considering gators aren't exactly the friendliest of animals. They cared for the gator until the Humane Society could pick it up.

WDIV: "A black truck pulled up, they got out and I thought they was dumping a body," said Shontez Gibson, who helped rescue the exotic animal. "So, I told my uncle. My uncle said, 'Come on, let's go see.' My uncle chased the truck up the street and they stopped, so my uncle ran back. And when we got back in the field I said, 'No, it's an alligator.'"
Gibson placed the alligator in its own room with a space heater to help warm it up. He said he fed it fish.

Seriously, people, next time you want to get an alligator as a pet, consider a kitten instead. -- JTW
