The officers of the Sioux City Police Department (SCPD) responded to an emergency call from either a customer or an employee at Target that a shopping cart that was taken inside from the parking lot believe that the person that placed the Colombian red boa did it on purpose. The SCPD contacted animal control officials that came to the Target store to remove the snake from the building to most likely an animal shelter. Since Target stores have been making a lot of enemies due to their policies that have offended some of their customers. Thank goodness no one was hurt in this incident.

A boa like that would be hugely expensive. My guess as to who left it there: a disgruntled partner in a domestic breakup.

Red boa in my shopping cart........Hmmm. I'd wonder where this Target was and how the snake got there.

The Target is located in Sioux City and most likely near a forest. The person who did place the snake may have an ax to grind with some of the policies related to the removal of clothing that features alternate lifestyles.

Yikes, now I will remember this story every time I innocently reach for a shopping cart before I start into a store.

Where did that thing come from?!? What are the policies that might offend the customers?

I'm glad no one was injured, including the snake.

I do all my ordering online. If I finally got out and went to a store that is the last thing I would need to see a snake in the shopping cart and that would send me right back to my apartment,
