Growing up in Idaho there would sometimes be baby alligators for sale during fairs, like the area with prize livestock and the petting zoo and all that. They'd keep them in those small plastic pools and put rubber bands on their mouths. We got to play with them. I'm sure it was all very legal and safe and the alligators definitely weren't super stressed
