A three-foot alligator was removed from a street in San Francisco and taken to an animal services facility. The alligator has been set up in “an appropriate container” (a Ziploc Big Bag?). The report mentions that a snapping turtle recovered by animal services was taken in by Six Flags in Vallejo last year. What the hell did Six Flags do with a snapping turtle?

Also, “Dan Mulhearn already has put in an order for this fall’s supply of black-footed ferrets. ‘I requested 50,’ said Mulhearn, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist who has been spearheading the reintroduction project in Logan County. ‘I highly doubt we’ll get that many.’” Sorry, Dan, but that’s because I used Basecamp to spearhead a reintroduction project for my high-rise condo building. The board ordered 2,000 black-footed ferrets all the way back in December of last year and our shipments just started coming in. Maybe next year you can get a little more organized.
