Emotional Support Kangaroo Finally Captured
A kangaroo named Archie was found and captured today after twelve days of roaming around the Indianapolis International Airport. Archie, a registered emotional support animal, was traveling from Australia with Cliff Brown, the kangaroo’s owner, when the kangaroo escaped in the airport baggage handing facility. Mr. Brown, a mental health counsellor who suffers from PTSD, has been helping with the capture efforts. Airport personnel knew the location of the kangaroo at all times since it is a little harder for a kangaroo to hide than small pets and that Archie preferred to attack and bully the airport staff and then run away. A series of traps were set at the airport, but those only succeeded in capturing six baggage handlers, two pilots, and three airport management executives. The FAA declared a ground stop three times when the kangaroo was chased outside and around the airport facility. The pilots and baggage handlers unions have lodged formal complaints against the airport authority over the incident.
