Waukesha County Lake Keesus gator head dragged in by cat

I'm so frustrated that Wisconsin has no laws against keeping these dangerous wild animals. People don't know how to handle them safely and the animals are kept in situations that aren't safe. How, where do you keep an alligator in Wisconsin? In the basement, the bathtub?? This is abusive to these beautiful wild animals. They deserve proper care, living quarters and food. We have seen several stories recently about alligators being found in Wisconsin lakes. There must be some alligator club out there... Wisconsin, it's time to create laws against this practice now.
