All of the alligators at Alligator Alley are rescued from dangerous places &#8211; dangerous to them that is! We transport the animals from unnatural areas to the alligator farm in Summerdale, AL, which is designed to give them a natural environment.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text]The alligators are considered &#8220;nuisance animals.&#8221; These animals have lost their natural fear of humans, which makes them dangerous. Any alligator over 4 feet in length, determined to be dangerous to humans or their property, must be removed.
