Hopalong, Casually: Pet Kangaroo Gets Loose, Causes Stir in West Texas
Pet Kangaroo Gets Loose, Causes Stir in West Texas
MIDLAND, Texas November 14, 2013 Officers in West Texas who answered calls about a kangaroo hopping along a road helped capture the pet and return the animal to its owner. Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter says deputies thought dispatchers were crazy when calls came in Tuesday night from people who said they saw a kangaroo. Patrol car video shows some of the chase along a rural highway near Midland. Deputies helped corner the 4-foot-tall kangaroo as the owner offered a treat to the animal, then grabbed the pet. Painter said Wednesday that Midland County has an exotic animals ordinance and owners must notify the sheriff's office. Authorities are checking to see if a pet kangaroo falls under that category. |

We just let them be. They are very docile.

I was working in WA and they told me they had a baby kangaroo in the office. I thought they were sending the Yank on a wild goose chase, but it turns out they actually had a kangaroo in the office.

I did like Perth because its a lot like San Diego (where I live), but the strict driving laws and not being able to drink as much as you guys kinda sucked. |

I suppose you know mining peaked here about a year ago. Now LNG (liquid natural gas) is slowing also. |

A ticket 7 kays over...wtf, for real? Jesus, I got a warning for doing 144kph the other month- that's Cali for you (the weather isn't the only good thing here). Speed cameras haven't fared too well in the states as they don't jive too well with our constitutional rights and many states have done away with them due to being able to beat them in court with a 100% success rate. they were already illegal in my state before they existed. Red light cams are also on the decline. |
