The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), which took the alligator away, said Cavallaro's license to have the alligator expired in 2021, and the gator was taken "in the interest of public safety."
However, neighbors and area residents backed Cavallaro, who told a local news outlet, "I’m Albert’s dad, that’s all there is to it."
