emptychair It is amazing that the wallet did not fall out onto the road during all of that time, and maybe the owner must have been a careful driver, not driving too fast over bumps on the road, that might have dislodged it.

emptychair I guess this shows that microchipping has its value, but I am not a big fan of it myself, not liking to insert something into a dog's body like that.

emptychair Perhaps the use of a tranquiliser dart gun might have got the job done, more quickly, as the deer will have to put up with that contraption for a while, as I believe they only shed their antlers annually, or once a year.

emptychair The deputy was not too safety conscious, using a seat belt like that, and he should have placed it in the boot, with some rope tied around its mouth. Nobody should take a risk with an alligator. Seat belts are not meant to restrain alligators.
