• In West Palm Beach, Florida, Kelly Jacobson was heartbroken after officers led away her pet pig, Pork Chop, during an eviction.
WPTV reported that animal care and control officers actually had to drag the pig, as he weighs 400 pounds and can't really walk.
They plan to gain custody of Pork Chop and get him the dietary care he needs.
Jacobson has been cited twice before for neglecting his needs, but she said she would "do whatever I have to do to make him better. I need him." [WPTV, 11/11/2023]
• Rudy Wilcox, 45, of Clearwater, Florida, was "observed defecating on a deceased opossum", according to The Smoking Gun.
Officers with the Clearwater Police Department said he was in "full view of the motoring public during busy traffic times."
While Wilcox denied the accusation, officers found "physical evidence" to support the charges.
Just one question: What would have happened if the opossum were only playing possum?!
