Summary:
CRAWFORD COUNTY, KS – A kangaroo’s Easter Sunday escape in Kansas prompted increased scrutiny on the state’s and others’ exotic pet policies. The kangaroo was still on the loose a week later and was last seen April 7. The animal’s owners were not from Kansas, according to the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office.
The authorities took to Facebook to get the word out. The notice advised against getting too close to the kangaroo.
