An abandoned and emaciated alligator that was and sent to the Bronx Zoo for recovery has died in a 'tragic case of animal abuse,' zoo officials said.The zoo provided extensive medical treatment and nutritional support for the debilitated gator, but she succumbed to her injuries on Sunday, the zoo said in a statement.'This alligator suffered and died because its owner decided to dump her in a frigid lake, in an extremely debilitated state rather than provide her with the veterinary care that could have saved her,' Bronx Zoo officials said. 'Wild animals are not pets.'
