"750-Pound Alligator Seized from NY Home Sparks Legal Battle for Return"

A 750-pound blind alligator named Albert was seized from a New York home, sparking a dispute between the state's Department of Environmental Conservation and the owner, who vows to fight to get him back. The owner, Tony Cavallaro, refutes claims of improper care and criticizes the seizure's handling, stating that he had a license that expired in 2021 and attempted to renew it. The alligator has been placed with a specialized caretaker while the situation is assessed, and a court date for the custody battle has not yet been announced.
