Man Arrested after Calf Found in Back Seat of Car
2014-11-09
[An Nahar] Police in Southern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, have tossed in the clink
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
a suspected calf rustler after the animal was found in the back seat of his car.

Riverside Animal Services front man John Welsh says an officer approached Cesar Zamora Santana early Wednesday when the man was spotted loitering outside an auto shop.

When the officer looked inside Santana's vehicle, he saw the calf lying in the back seat. Santana told police that he bought the animal for $200 at a gas station.

Animal control officers found that the bovine's ear identification tag had been forcibly removed.

Welsh says the 150-pound female calf was turned over to a farmer to be fostered while authorities try to find its owner.

The 31-year-old Santana was arrested on suspicion of transporting livestock without proof of ownership or identifying information. No phone listing for him could be found.

#8  Never transport young piglets in the back seat of a car. They get carsick & become incontinent.

Make sure fleas aren't hurt in flea circuses.
Their stiff staff will not laugh
If a calf or giraffe
Is found filched for nefarious purposes.

I hope you don't mind if I mock you gents
For holding livestock without documents,
While Cesar Santana
Will go free mañana
With the whole goddamn government's compliments.
