In order to watch a game of hockey an alligator must carry an umbrella in the shower and perfer caramel to chocolate(which means they know that FF live in trees), and must be a steeple chaser (which, by definition makes them a vegetarian).

Pretty much

Only aligators that are vegetarians are allowed to watch rabbits play hockey

That does not follow from the statements above, there is nothing that implies that all Steeplechasers are Alligators.

only steeplechasers (who are vegetarians) can watch anything, including rabbits, play hockey, and they prefer caramel to chocolate.
