Woman Brings Kangaroo To McDonalds In Wisconsin, Gets Kicked Out

A woman who brought a kangaroo into a McDonald’s in southern Wisconsin says she didn’t do it just for kicks.

Diana Moyer, the kangaroo’s owner, told Wisconsin’s Daily Citizen that the 8-month old animal named “Jimmy” is a therapy pet who accompanies her nearly everywhere — including her church, the movie theater, and regular visits to a McDonald’s in the city of Beaver Dam.

While the Americans with Disabilities Act limited the definition of “service animals” to include only dogs and miniature horses, Wisconsin’s statutes make an exception for “other” animals, so long as they’re individually trained to help a person with a disability. As an untrained therapy pet, Moyer’s kangaroo didn’t quite fit the definition.
