and sent to the Bronx Zoo for recovery has died in a “tragic case of animal abuse,” zoo officials said.
The zoo provided extensive medical treatment and nutritional support for the debilitated gator, but she succumbed to her injuries on Sunday, April 16, the zoo said in a statement. “This alligator suffered and died because its owner decided to dump her in a frigid lake, in an extremely debilitated state rather than provide her with the veterinary care that could have saved her,” Bronx Zoo officials said. “Wild animals are not pets.”
An autopsy showed chronic and severe weight loss, extreme anemia and infections in the gator’s intestine and skin, the statement said.
