BUT IS IT LESS CRAZY THAN IT LOOKS!?

http://http://abc13.com/pets/florida-woman-fights-to-keep-pet-alligator-rambo-at-home/1251802/

The 125-pound reptile named Rambo wears clothes, rides on the back of a motorcycle and has a bedroom in Mary Thorn's home in Lakeland.

Thorn has had a license for the alligator for 11 years, but it recently grew to 6 feet. Wildlife officials say that size alligator must have 2.5 acres of land. Thorn tells the Orlando Sentinel that even if she had land available, Rambo can't be left outdoors because of sensitivity to sunlight.

I mean, he's unable to be rehabilitated into the wild. He wears clothes because his skin is sensitive to sunlight, which is also why he lives indoors, so even if she had the land she wouldn't use it. I wasn't aware that you could train alligators, let alone have little ATVs for them(??!), but I feel like the state should let her have this one if her husbandry is sound.
There's even a change.org petition for it.

Easiest fucking G/A/F of my life lmao. Can it get any more absurd than that?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

The booster seat is for the alligator isn't it.

 

[freenudemacusers]

He really should be wearing alligator boots I mean come on.

 

[Savitar]

Rambo, heh. At this point probably better he does stay with the family.

 

[mysocksarepink]

Where's the video of him on a motorcycle? 😲

 

[ItIsOkBro]

If all that she says about Rambo is true I hope he gets to stay ;_;

 

[pitchfork]

The dog locked up in the yard looking on enviously

 

[commedieu]

The dog locked up in the yard looking on enviously

Lol.

 

[EchoChamber]

He can really drive?

 

[Moff]

so can he actually drive the ATV or not, because if he can't I can't take this seriously

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Free my dude Rambo

 

[Deleted member 74300]

He can really drive?

He can do many things

 

[Foxix Von]

so can he actually drive the ATV or not, because if he can't I can't take this seriously

Yeah, if he can't drive his own ass around then this is all clearly ridiculous.

 

[Curiocity]

so can he actually drive the ATV or not, because if he can't I can't take this seriously

I don't know you guys, there's a video of him ON the motorcycle but not actually RIDING it. The video is still magical though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDR-fD0WOC8

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Sounds like we got a new shitty friend for the next Sonic game...

 

[Exr]

That image in the OP is incredible

 

[javac]

Do not enter, everything bites.

 

[tkscz]

Well if what she says is true and it can't take much sunlight (reason for the clothes?) then let her keep it. At this point, the thing is domesticated. Seriously though, can it ride the atv or just sit on it?

 

[Maxey]

Sorry for being off-topic but what is the meaning behind G/A/F?

 

[Nokterian]

Sorry for being off-topic but what is the meaning behind G/A/F?

It's like why is this real? Is this real? Oh yeah it is and the story behind is more weird than you could think off that's why they make the thread G/A/F it sounds multiple this way like saying to someone hey duuuuuude look at this!

 

[Abstruse Moose]

Sorry for being off-topic but what is the meaning behind G/A/F?

Germany/Australia/Florida

Lol, I just wanted to know what the characters stood for.

Germany/Australia/Florida

Thank you!

Taking advertising a little too far for a Croc reboot, aren't we?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

You guys are asking if an alligator can ride an atv?

 

[RomanticHeroX]

How could they pass up the obvious improvement for that photo and not put Rambo in sunglasses.

 

[Cow Mengde]

You guys are asking if an alligator can ride an atv?

Believe!

 

[Dennis]

Suicide Squad marketing going the extra mile.

 

[Anion]

I wonder if she takes the gator out to romantic dinners in a custom gator sized tux.

 

[MrToughPants]

You guys are asking if an alligator can ride an atv?

Well, can you?

 

[zma1013]

So if he drives too close to a car, does that mean he's a tailgator?

 

[Gaz_RB]

I hope she keeps him! This is actually kind of cute!

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Well, can you?

I could learn

 

[AlexMogil]

The terror of the German Alligator!

Hitler's secret Alligator Korps (Panzergürtelschweifkorps) struck fear into the encroaching Brits with their comparatively weak Otter Brigades.

 

[Curiocity]

You guys are asking if an alligator can ride an atv?

his name is Rambo okay Alligatorjandro

So if he drives too close to a car, does that mean he's a tailgator?

Mother of God.

 

[marvelharvey]

You guys are asking if an alligator can ride an atv?

That's unpossible.

 

[Savitar]

You fools believing he can ride that......now his rascal on the other hand........

 

[Strangelove77]

It actually doesn't sound that crazy when you read up on it. It's just a lady with a pet alligator.

 

[qazqaNii]

The gator follows 70 commands, riding atv must be one of them. I see nothing wrong with this.

 

[JaseC]

I could learn

 

[zma1013]

Mother of God.

If he crashed his ATV, would someone have to administer gatoraid?

 

[Permanently A]

That image is fucking great man. Humans just find better and better ways to surprise me.

 

[Curiocity]

If he crashed his ATV, would someone have to administer gatoraid?

FUAAAACK

Also judging by the fence around her place he lives in a gatored community

 

[BKatastrophe]

I don't know you guys, there's a video of him ON the motorcycle but not actually RIDING it. The video is still magical though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDR-fD0WOC8

Shit that got heavy fast

[Nomadic Sparks]

Shit that got heavy fast

I enjoyed the puns at least

 

[ratcliffja]

That's really sad. Hopefully she can keep him since he's apparently photosensitive.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

What a weird story. xD

If all the facts laid out in the petition are true, then... I'm kinda rooting for Mary to keep her Rambo, haha. But I don't know if these claims are true or if she's just a little crazy and delusional. For example, the clothing is to protect his supposedly sensitive skin... yet his head is uncovered? Is the skin on the face less sensitive than the body (that sounds unlikely) somehow?

 

[Bare Grills]

Quite possibly the greatest pic I've ever seen on the internet.

 

[FeenixRising]

I could learn

Of course you can

 

[Gig]

Easiest fucking G/A/F of my life lmao.

Could of been Georgia.
