WHITE HOUSE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A resident in Sumner County said she was attacked by her neighbor’s kangaroo, leading to her husband stepping in, killing the animal.
The incident unfolded on Fern Valley Road in White House Wednesday evening.
Nosy neighbors. Four weeks ago moved even further out in the country from where I was. 40 acres and closest neighbor few hundred yards down the road. I'll never have to worry about bullshit like this. Next project, build an enclosure for the black leopard I've always wanted.
I went to Google Earth after I read the story to check the place out. Rural, the nearest neighbor across the road is a couple hundred yards away and to either side, 350-400 yards.
For 11 years I lived in Karnes County Texas on a 300 acre farm. I rented the farm house, but had run of the full property, out of the 300 acres 100 was pasture. My nearest neighbor was a mile away. I loved the solitude.
If the owners had asked the neighbors too just leave the kangaroo alone or at least not given them instructions to use food to lure the animal back into his enclosure, then I would say they had an argument. They had to have known that there was a possibility that the animal might get aggressive, kangaroos kill a LOT of people in Australia. I'm not saying that wild animals should never be kept as pets but just don't lose sight of the fact that they remain wild animals. If their little nugget Carter had killed that woman, which was a distinct possibility then where would they be? Looking for a really good lawyer I'm guessing.
I wanna know how in the hell you strangle a male Kangaroo? Those things are solid muscle - not to mention really weird creatures that prolly shouldn't exist.

ReplyDeleteWe’ve heard that it was a sick kangaroo. Allegedly.
