And I get that, which is why I hope it works out for the guy, but I'm going to take what he's said with a grain of salt, I know how beauracrasies are, and I know how much worse they tend to get when your circumstances deviate from the norm, ultimately this guy is going to need to take this to court and fight it out in order to force the New York state bureaucracy to make a change.

Ultimately i was just making fun of the grandfathered claim, it's always the go to claim when rule changes are made that people don't want to comply with. Also an alligator is a dangerous beast, I've been chased by them, I've dealt with getting them out of my pool, I've had friends lose their pets to them, I can definitely understand why NYS doesn't want alligators in poorly trained or incapable hands, however someone has to care for this poor blind gator.
