Daily News | Cayman, the caiman found in FDR Park, was euthanized after animal sanctuaries wouldn’t take him
, Parker said the euthanization occurred after officials couldn’t find an animal sanctuary to house the alligator-adjacent reptile. Parker would not say when he was euthanized or how many animal sanctuaries rejected the animal.
After someone in FDR Park called Philadelphia police about an alligator sighting, Cayman was taken to ACCT Philly, the city’s only animal care and control group, where staff cared for the caiman until the commission took over.ACCT Philly executive director Sarah Barnett told Axios that she was angered by the decision to euthanize Cayman. She said she believed state officials were taking the reptile to an undisclosed animal rehab facility in northeast Pennsylvania.
Caimans are not native to Pennsylvania and could turn to hunting small dogs when out of their element.
