An alligator with snout tapped shut remains in Brandon retention pond

A Brandon woman is furious after spotting an alligator with its snout tapped shut in a retention pond. Amber Lock said the gator's snout has been tapped shut since December in her Brandon neighborhood. "It can’t eat. It doesn’t matter that an alligator can go up to months, months and months without eating. It’s suffering. It’s stressed. It can’t open it’s mouth. It’s just wrong," said Amber Lock.
