A state representative plans to introduce legislation in response to the recent spate of alligator sightings in western Pennsylvania.'You never really expect to see an alligator on your property here in Pennsylvania,' Abby Major said, laughing.Major's district has been home to the Kiski River sightings, which have both frightened and perplexed people in the area.
'This just seemed like a first great step to hopefully discourage this from happening again in the future.'In her memorandum, Major wrote that she believes the legislation would 'further provide for public safety from dangerous exotic wildlife, most notable those related to recent issues of alligators and mink being released into the wild.'She argued that the release of such animals could be dangerous to citizens and cause havoc on the local ecosystem.
