LONGWOOD, Fla. - Longwood resident Barbara Thornton told FOX 35 that she was walking her dog about two weeks ago when she saw a 7-foot-long alligator with its legs, eyes, and mouth taped shut.
She said that the gator was still alive and floating by the shore, so she called the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and a trapper caught it."It’s very sad.
It makes you wonder about the human condition and how someone could be so cruel to do something like this," she said. Just a month ago, another family in Thornton's neighborhood found a different gator taped up as well.MORE NEWS: Medical examiner: 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death; classmate chargedA $1,500 reward is being offered for any information that leads to an.
