Its a jungle out there Henrietta

"
 Police say a Ledyard officer shot a monitor lizard to death Sunday afternoon, after a resident called 911 to report what she believed to be an alligator attacking the chickens in her coop.
The officer was forced to shoot the reptile to protect fellow patrolmen, the town's animal control officer and the chickens, police Lt. Michael T. Finkelstein said Monday."


That one statement is feed for dozens of comments and jokes.
I particularly like that "fellow patrolmen" are being protected along with the chickens. I can see them all huddled together wide-eyed and wide-beaked - "What the... CLUCK?"

They should have included "children and our way of life" in the list of things he was protecting.

Well if we're going all out I insist we include mom and apple pie. And baby ducks. I like baby ducks.
