Seizure of 6-foot-plus gator living in tiny tub in Pierce County caught on camera
Pierce County deputies and animal control officers in the Lakebay area have seized an alligator that is more than six feet long. The operation was caught on camera.
Animal control had received a complaint about someone on a property possessing the reptile, but when animal control officers first investigated, the alligator was not found on the property.
It is illegal to possess alligators in Washington.
Animal control officers returned on Oct. 20, and saw that the 6-foot, 7-inch alligator was being kept inside a small tub inside a shipping container.
