A South Carolina town is investigating how a massive alligator was removed from a mini-golf course this week, according to local officials. Town Manager Steve Riley said the community is “deeply concerned about the egregious and unacceptable behavior” that took place during the alligator’s removal. At that point, onlookers began to take pictures with the alligator, riding it and posing near it -- some of which ended up on social media. “I didn’t know how it would look to all the people online,” Maffo told the Island Packet. “It certainly wasn’t our intent to exploit this alligator,” Joe Maffo told reporters at Critter Management’s headquarters.
