    I feel horrible for what Mr. Joie Henney is going through. It was very cruel what they did to stole this precious and adorable alligator from him. He needs his emotional support and Wally is what he needs every single day of his life. I can understand perfectly well what this man is going through having depression myself, and yes, animals are a huge and critical part of helping people go through the process of healing and/or fighting depression. My heart goes out to Mr. Henney knowing about how critical help is needed dealing with depression.
    I hope that whoever has Wally, has a change of heart and return this lovely alligator back to him. As he said, no questions will be asked and no charges will be filed against this individual or individuals…..just take the reward money and leave.
    A very sad and heartbreaking news of Wally, he is such a loving alligator, adorable and very cute. Wally is a gentle reptile which is unusual for alligators. He is a very special creature who loves people.
    Prayers are with Wally and Mr. Henney and for the safe return of Wally, they both need each other’s companionship. ☹️🙏♥️😞

    To do this to sweet Wally and his dad and family is cruel and disgusting, I don't understand some people's mentality, Wally never hurt anyone 💔 j heard that he was dumped in a lagoon as a prank, that wasn't a prank that was clearly malicious if that happened and if he was put in that lagoon he won't unfortunately survive because he can't hunt and he probably couldn't defend himself against those other gators, I pray Wally and for everyone who loves Wally, may he be reunited with his family, I hope that whoever did this will go to jail for a long time because what they have done is animal cruelty and abuse and basically if he isn't found then that is basically murder, so I pray that Wally is found alive and is OK and I pray that his family have strength through this difficult time

    He won't die because he won't kill his own food. In captivity, he stopped killing because he discovered that humans would do that work for him. If he was really hungry, he would kill. Heck, if humans are hungry enough, they turn cannibal! But in all likelihood, Wally was killed very shortly after being released into the swamp since he has few alligator survival skills.

  • @JurassicB

    Wally lived wild for 18 months and clearly hunted his own food. Joe KNEW Georgia laws because his admin literally posted them on the groups months ago. Geogia doesn't allow pet gators period. I know it sucks and i know hes sad but Joe took huge risks with him and now hes lost him. His gators have escaped before and he always blames everyon else rather than use true enclosures, locks and cameras. When you own an exotic pet, you need to be extra vigilant in their care and security period.

    Ummm... Its fine if you appreciate any type of animal. But, an alligator/ snake/ insect, etc is not an emotional support animal. Alligators are extremely dangerous and can kill. And alligators do not grow any type of 'bond' with a human, they only know they are fed. Its possible the alligator is mild mannered that is all. This story gives people the wrong impression that these types of animals can form a bond like a dog or cat.
