Wally, The Viral Emotional Support Alligator, Has Gone Missing
Wally, an emotional support alligator and internet sensation, has gone missing, causing distress to his social media fanbase. Joie Henney, from Pennsylvania, has been accompanied by Wally for nearly a decade, claiming the reptile helped alleviate his depression. During a vacation in Brunswick, Georgia, Wally mysteriously vanished from his enclosure, with Henney believing Wally was stolen. Despite pleas for help on social media platforms like TikTok, the search for Wally remains ongoing. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources responded to a report of a nuisance alligator that same day but couldn’t confirm if it was him. Alligators are illegal to keep without proper permits in Georgia, though Pennsylvania laws are more lenient. Wildlife experts warn of the inherent dangers and unpredictability associated with keeping such creatures.
