"We don't believe that it's a 'normal household pet,'" the city attorney Brenda Braden said. "Quite honestly, we just feel like we have to cite him."
So he hasnt actually violated any laws but they are going to fine him anyway just for s**ts and giggles sure why not

He's been there for 26 years.... long before the day care. God I can't stand when people move into a place and immediately complain about everything.
any parent sending kids to the daycare next door needs to have their head examined...
I wonder who was there first. Did she open a day care knowing he had alligators? She didn't want him to lose his pets but reported him? I wouldn't want to live next door either but maybe she should be the one moving.
They are pretty small as I have seen the same clip of him handling them.
He also has snakes and other uncommon pets.
In the clip it showed the set up, looked safe. He said about his mini gators are not going to fly out of their habitat and attack people.
I think he has had them for like 10 yrs.
Then day care provider who ratted him out should have not been so over reactive IMO.
Now if his gators had been escaping and running amuck well then.
However they have always been well confined to his property.
And how big could a 20 yrs old alligator grow? His oldest is at least 21 by now.
What a bunch of nanny-state BS.

In this case, it is not the more the merrier.
Just what everyone wants living next door to them...a daycare complete with landscaping by Little Tykes and minivan traffic jams. /s
Oh brother!
Gotta wonder if the neighbor with the daycare (is it an in home daycare?) -- does she have all her permits?
*giggles*
A dog is never considered vicious until it bites someone.
But all dogs have to have a tag.
This looks like a revenue enhancement opportunity because gators don't have tags and they want to make some new rules.
Hmmm I wonder if the daycare next door is licensed?
It just occured to me if this guy has had his one gator for 20yrs they may outlive him.
20yrs is a long time and he has taken care of his critters with no problems.
Wonder if the City Council took that under consideration.
The daycare provider now says she regrets complaining about the mini gators, to bad she could not have thought about that before.
I am not big on those who keep non domestic pets but this guy was not the avg. "cool to have odd pet" kinda guy.
He struck me as a guy that really cares about his odd creatures.
If the daycare owner displays purple dinosaurs in her daycare, even on TV, she's more of a hazard to public health than the alligator guy.
Must be all FSU fans in Oregon.
