'Scuse me but how in the world of all that is known do you "abuse" an alligator?
Abuse of his $8,000 Bull Mastiff, apparently it had some serious enough wounds to where the animal people went to his house, thinking it was from dog fighting...That's when they found the alligator. Put two and two together. The Mastiff eventually died, I'm guessing from it's wounds. Plus, it's illegal to own a Alligator where he lived. Fatass is about see some serious time in prison.
