He wouldn't let anyone touch it unless they used hand sanitizer in front of him. He was very adamant about that alligator. The report said feces on the floor? I thought I only saw a part where it said rodents on the floor of one level of the building.
These are the news reports coming out. I can't speak to how he handled the alligator at the show. He wouldn't be the first animal caretaker that let things get out of control. It's not unheard of that someone goes from advocate to hoarder and then they can't keep up with things. Don't know if that's what has happened here, but it's possible.

"It wasn't a real safe environment," said DNR Conservation Warden Myles Gervis. "The floor's slippery. There's animal waste all over the place."

The first police officers to enter the building encountered a repulsive scene, according to a report summarizing Flint's arrest.

"There was an overpowering stench of ammonia consistent with urine and feces throughout the residence," the report says.

"Dead animal carcasses were in close proximity to live animals, and animal waste was observed throughout the residence."

Mold and fungus were growing "on a vast majority of the animals," according to the report.

Police and other officials found the animals inside the building while executing a search warrant Wednesday, the report says.
