The 4-ft. alligator caught in Sheboygan over the weekend has been forced to become a Chicago Bears fan. In a statement, DNR official Mike Clutter said: “Staff at the Milwaukee County Zoo suggested I contact Small Scale Reptile Rescue and they offered to take the animal. Small Scale Reptile Rescue is a Milwaukee-area organization that works with shelters and animal control agencies to assist in the rehabilitation and finding suitable homes for abandoned and seized reptiles. The organization sends alligators to alligator farms but will not allow the general public to receive them. The organization transported the animal to the Chicago Herpetological Society. State law regulates the introduction, stocking and release of wild animals, and violators can face a forfeiture of $539.50 for the release of a wild animal.”
