Tennessee Farmer Says Neighbor Strangled His Pet Kangaroo

A Tennessee man is mourning his pet kangaroo that he says was killed a few days before Christmas when his neighbor allegedly strangled the animal, claiming it lunged for his wife. It happened when Chris Lea was out Christmas shopping and received a phone call from his neighbor, saying his 3-year-old kangaroo, Carter, had gotten free from his enclosure and charged at the neighbor’s wife. The neighbor said he had no choice but to kill Carter, according to Lea.
