"I want to get help for this alligator. I don’t want to see an alligator swimming around with a knife in its head and suffering", she told reporters.

While the predator is definitely not very lucky, there seems to be no grave concerns about its condition, as alligators are very tough and their scales provide great protection from such wounds.
Uh. Maybe a knife is stand-up paddle boarding in a Texas lake with an alligator stuck to its foot. C’mon. Use your brain.
