Let the gator stay! He’s probably happy in there!

A brief list of reasons why the gator should get to stay Humboldt Lagoon:

Its bringing the community together as #gatorwatch2019 has become the hit activity of the summer. Its making people realize how special the wild, natural beauty of Humboldt Park actually is. It’s scaring away all of those a-hole Canadian Geese. Seriously, screw those guys. Humboldt Park needs a new mascot. The lagoon is kinda gross anyway, who else would want to be in there except an alligator. I’m pretty sure an alligator is a natural part of this ecosystem. It’s just plain cool. I promise I’ll feed him and walk him every day if you just give me the chance. Please?

Come on Chicago Parks District! Just fence off the rest of the lagoon and let Chance the Snapper live in there for a while. At least for the rest of the summer. It’ll be chill. Promise.
