ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi alligator ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha loa, ʻoiai inā ʻoe e kipa i ka ʻāina ʻo Florida. Eia nō naʻe, he mea kāhāhā paha ka loaʻa ʻana iā ia ma kahi pāka ma kahi kaula, me he mea lā he ʻīlio ʻē aʻe e hele mai e pāʻani a holo pū me kāna mea nona.
ʻO ia kahi i hiki ai i ka poʻe hele wāwae i ka Pōʻalima i hala aku nei i ka pāka LOVE ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Philadelphia. ʻO Joie Henney, ka mea i loaʻa i ka maʻi kanesa, ʻo ia ka mea nāna i lawe mai iā Wallygator - ka inoa o ka reptile - i ka paka e hui a aloha i ka lehulehu, e like me ka makasina People.
Ua hoʻomaka pū ʻo Henney i kahi hoʻolaha e hōʻiliʻili i ke kālā no kāna mālama ʻana, a ua hoʻonui ʻia ma mua o $ 1.500 - he nui like i ka euro. Ua komo pū ʻo ia i loko o ka Contest Pet Favorite ʻo ʻAmelika, kahi hoʻokūkū pūnaewele i lanakila ai ka holoholona aloha nui o ka ʻāina me ka makana $10.000.
Aia ʻo ia ma ke kūlana mua me ʻekolu mau lā e hala a hiki i ka pau ʻana o ke koho balota a ʻo ia wale nō ka mea momona ʻole i ka ʻumi kiʻekiʻe, me kahi honu poʻo ʻelua. Ma kāna moʻolelo ʻōlelo ʻo ia "makemake ʻo ia e hāʻawi i nā pūliki."
E like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia e CNN, ua loaʻa iā Henney ka Wallygator alligator ʻeono makahiki i hala aku nei, i kona wā kamaliʻi a ʻelua kapuaʻi ke kiʻekiʻe. Wahi a ka mea nona ka mea nāna i hoʻopaʻa inoa iā ia ma ke ʻano he holoholona kākoʻo noʻonoʻo ma 2018, "ʻaʻole ia e hōʻike i ka huhū a me ka huhū." Moe ʻo ia me ia, a "ʻaihue i kona mau uluna a me kona mau pale."
"ʻO ia wale nō ka alligator i hōʻole ʻole e nahu," wahi a Henney, ka mea hoʻohana i ka Wallygator e kōkua i ke kaua ʻana i nā kau ʻana o ka radiation cancer. Loaʻa i ka reptile kahi moʻokāki Instagram a me Tiktok.
