Customer Kicked Out of McDonald's for Crime of Being a Baby Kangaroo
A Wisconsin woman says she was recently asked to leave a McDonald's over her choice of company, even though her companion had done nothing wrong. Nothing, that is, besides being a baby kangaroo.
According to Diana Moyer, an officer made her and Jimmy, her eight-month-old kangaroo, exit the restaurant after another patron called the police. At the time, Jimmy was in a child's car seat, an apparently common occurrence. From the Beaver Dam Daily Citizen:
[Moyer] said she has been visiting the McDonald's at 840 Park Ave. for three months with Jimmy and no one has ever complained. In fact, she said she takes Jimmy everywhere, including her church — Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Beaver Dam — and to the east side of Madison. Recently she and Jimmy drove to Eastgate Cinema in Madison to watch Taken 3.
For their part, police have stood by the blatantly anti-marsupial act.
"While it's an unusual call, it was certainly handled in an appropriate manner going in and ultimately we got what we'd like to get," said Detective Ryan Klavekoske, "which is voluntary compliance with the ordinance."
