Description
Multiple animals died and others are hurt after a fire ripped through the Alligator & Wildlife Discovery Center and another business in Madeira Beach, the center's owner said.
Pinellas County Sheriff's Office deputies say the blaze was reported around 2 a.m. Thursday and impacted both the Alligator & Wildlife Discovery Center and Beach Bites & Burgers. The fire has since been put out but the resulting damage has been done.
Sonny Flynn, the owner of Alligator & Wildlife Discovery Center said all mammals at the refuge died in the fire. Many of the reptiles there were also hurt.
"They didn't deserve this, this is my whole life," Flynn said. "They all have names, they all have personality, I come in every morning and talk to them like Dr. Dolittle."
