[quote]NYDN- A Florida woman said state officials are making her give up her beloved pet alligator — a gentle giant named Rambo who is potty trained, understands sign language and loves to dress up in costumes — because he’s grown too big. “He’s like my son. He’s my family,” Rambo’s owner Mary Thorn told the Daily News Tuesday. “He’s not a normal gator. He has never been a normal gator.” The Lakeland woman said a recent growth spurt put the 15-year-old Rambo at six feet long, and Florida Fish and Wildlife officials require gators that big to live on properties with at least 2.5 acres of open space. But Thorn doesn’t have that extra land, so Rambo — an indoor gator who rarely goes outside — will need a new home, she said. Thorn got Rambo 11 years ago. She adopted a pack of five gators who were kept in a cramped tank in a dark closet for the first four years of their lives, making them ultra-sensitive to light and skittish around other reptiles.[/quote] Anybody who is willing to stand up to this thing and try to tell it what to do is a bigger woman than I. http://www.barstoolsports.com/iowa/florida-woman-is-fighting-to-keep-her-fully-trained-gator-named-rambo-who-rides-four-wheelers/
