A woman in the U.S. state of Wisconsin was asked to leave a McDonald's because she was attempting to patronize the restaurant accompanied by her pet kangaroo. A customer at the restaurant called the police, who then asked the woman to leave. The woman, who was a cancer patient, told police that the kangaroo was a "service animal" to help her deal with the emotional distress of her illness, and showed police a doctor's note as proof. The police officer said the woman, who lives on a farm with several other exotic animals, was upset at first, but then agreed to leave the eatery.
