Kangaroo owner who left McDonald's takes animal 'everywhere'

BEAVER DAM, Wis. (AP) - The woman who agreed to leave a McDonald's restaurant in Beaver Dam after a customer complained about the kangaroo she carried says she owns four additional kangaroos and a menagerie of other animals.

Diana Moyer lives on a farm near Columbus and has a collection of animals, including sheep, goats, emu, deer, horses and chickens. Police asked Moyer to leave McDonald's last week after she brought her eight-month-old kangaroo, Jimmy, to the restaurant in an infant car seat. Moyer says she takes her baby kangaroo everywhere, including the movies and church. Moyer says the kangaroo is a therapy animal for which she has a doctor's approval.

Moyer tells the Daily Citizen (http://bit.ly/18NAt61 ) that her farm is licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and that it has been inspected.
