The alligator had nothing to do with it.

Keeping an alligator for a pet in your backyard is NUTS.
However, if it is YOUR backyard and doesn’t roam about, then the pets it is eating had to stray into its territory.
Surprised it hasn’t been discovered until now.

Still, as others noted, how did the gator get access to the yappers? Go for cruises around the neighborhood and then return home?
Good thing he was not like a cat and leave the catch on the doorstep for praise.
Live in western Colorado. A recently discovered coyote den had an impressive array of dog collars ... sort of like a trophy wall.
I think the coyote a more likely culprit. Gators kill their prey by drowning and they store what they don’t eat in the first go round underwater. So what body of water did this gator have access to where it could stash its kill?
I live on the coast of NC and we have alligators all over the place. I live in a well developed community and there is a 10 foot alligator that crawls up the nearby creek (about two streets over) every couple of weeks. It would not concern me in the least if my neighbor kept a pet alligator in his yard- well fed alligators are really docile.
Having said that, when an alligator grows to 8 feet long they are capable of eating some big creatures, e.g. large dogs.
I have a seasonal pond in my back yard that gets to be about 1/2 acre large that attracts gators as they wander about during their mating season.
Sometimes 8 or 10 feet long.
Can be some pretty funny scenes when they sneak up on a duck or something like an unsuspecting person.
