Dead alligator found dumped in Gary Indiana.

[Blue-Jay]

GARY, Ind. -- Mayor Rudy Clay says he couldn't believe it when he saw the latest piece of rubbish illegally dumped along a Gary street -- a 5- to 6-foot-long dead alligator.

"I jumped back," Clay said after visiting Thursday's reptile discovery.
The dead animal was found among a pile of roofing shingles and old tires dumped illegally from a 40-foot-long rolling garbage container in the city's Glen Park area.
Gary code enforcement officers arrested an employee of a recycling company on illegal dumping charges for leaving the animal and the other trash.
Clay said he's grown weary of his city being used as a dumping ground.

And he wore a lot of alligator skin boots.

I guess that python had a different mom.
