Police Ask Woman With Kangaroo To Leave Wis. McDonald's

2015-02-05

[MINNESOTA.CBSLOCAL] A Beaver Dam police officer says he's certain he's never responded to a call like the one he handled recently at a McDonald's restaurant.

Officer Rich Dahl responded to an anonymous complaint from a customer about a woman who brought a kangaroo into McDonald's. Dahl said Tuesday the woman had the baby kangaroo wrapped in a blanket and tucked in an infant car seat.

Dahl says when he confronted the woman she explained the kangaroo was a service animal to help her cope with emotional distress and she produced a letter from a doctor.

Ohfergawdsakes...

The officer says the woman was upset at first, but then agreed to leave the restaurant.

McDonald's says its policy is to make its restaurants accessible to all customers, including those with disabilities and special needs.

#5 It is a 'Grey Kangaroo'. Not as big as the 'Red', but still grow up to be 4-5 feet tall. Adult version would still be aggressive and not prone to 'human suggestions' as they are 'wild' animals.

I think the Serval cat is pretty interesting and beautiful animal, and understand some folks have them as pets and claim they can be 'domesticated'. Still not getting one.

FWIW, as of 2011, the AMA only recognizes dogs as 'Service Animals'. No mention of 'Pal Joey'.

#4 I'm sure baby kangaroos oughtn't be out in a Minnesota winter, no matter how well wrapped up. A responsible 'roo parent would go through the drive through if a McDonal's meal were required, then have a picnic in the living room at home. Or wait until spring, go through the drive through, and have a picnic in the park, with the now much bigger 'roo firmly leashed. Any hint about whether it was a little wallaby or a future six foot plus boxing champion?

#3 No shoes, no shirt, no service.

Friggin people don't give a crap about food contamination anymore than immunizations. Bunch of urban bubble never-been-adults.

McDonald's says its policy is to make its restaurants accessible to all customers, including those with disabilities and special needs

When did food/health inspection requirements go out the window to accommodate such small groups of people. Tyranny of the minority. Screw the majority. Of course the deep pockets tort principle is that McD's pays for food poisoning/contamination not the true offender.

#2 She thought she was at iHop. Easy mistake to make.

Snark of the day.

#1 Kangaroo burgers are a hot item in my local supermarket. Alongside crocodile burgers.
