She should have kept it. They make nice handbags as adults.

"Because the alligator is not native to this area, Mr. Griesinger speculated that someone kept it as a pet and either let it go or it escaped."
This is why you need trained animal control specialists. They know all that technical stuff like the fact that alligators are not native to Toledo, Ohio. Now, if it had been Miami, Ohio...

He then placed it inside a small child's swimming pool in their backyard while Mrs. Davis called the police department, which dispatched Mr. Griesinger to remove it.
i'll bet the small child was surprised to find that in the pool!

My key points from the article:
Mr. Griesinger added that it is illegal to own an alligator in Toledo.
...
Far from being ferocious, the alligator is one of the most docile that Mr. Griesinger said he has encountered. He said he intends to keep the creature at his animal enclosure and use it to demonstrate why alligators should not be kept as pets
So let me get this straight:
1) It's illegal to keep alligators in Toledo
2) He's going to do it anyway - to demonstrate why you shouldn't.
3) There is no three.

The Toledo Alligators WBAGNFATABC (would be a good name for a triple-A ball club)

The alligator will now go on a diet of goldfish. Well, mostly goldfish.
"I'll probably give him a mouse or two a week, and that will keep him happy," Mr. Griesinger said.
Kind of a mixed message there. If it's docile and happy, why not have it as a pet?
