PETA investigated two (Michigan) Wolverines and a wallaby

Some people have dogs as pets. Others have cats. Others have fish, and perhaps some have other animals like lizards or frogs or turtles or snakes. How many have a wallaby?

Recently, Michigan football players were seen around the Ann Arbor campus posing for photos with a young wallaby, which was allegedly trying to be sold by the Michigan student-athletes. The wallaby, originally purchased in Michigan, was discovered on the Instagram page of Michigan wide receiver Jack Wangler, which was shared by quarterback Shane Morris. Per MLive.com, Wangler said the animal was not living in the apartment shared by he and Morris, but the animal was merely visiting. However, it was Wangler who reportedly answered the phone when a call to the phone number attached to the listing for the wallaby was called.

The People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, PETA, organized a deal with the Detroit Zoo to provide a safe home for the wallaby. Instead, the wallaby was returned to the breeder that originally sold the animal. The wallaby was reportedly returned in excellent condition, according to a PETA representative, and doing well. Still, it was PETA’s preference the wallaby be given a chance to live out its life in the zoo alongside its own kind.

“Ultimately a wallaby doesn’t belong in a private home any more than a wolverine does,” PETA Foundation deputy director of captive animal law enforcement Brittany Peet said, per MLive.com. “These students and the University of Michigan had an opportunity to step up and set a great example by allowing the wallaby to spend the rest of its life with other wallabies in a natural habitat in an accredited facility. Unfortunately, they dropped the ball.”

Everybody turn up the volume and sing along:

Watch me wallabies feed, mate
Watch me wallabies feed,
They're a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me wallabies feed
Altogether now!

CHORUS:
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

There you have it. PETA does not recognize the Harvard of the West as an accredited facility.

On the other hand, if they had let things be we might have seen the first ever wallaby with a kinesiology degree.

Why they bringing Braylon Edwards into this?

Not gonna lie. It is going to take a real zinger today to make me laugh as hard as I did this one.

Probably already posted, but I'm too lazy to look. The Great and Powerful Harbaugh just signed an unrated CB from that hotbed of talent: Montreal.

Re: The report indicated because of varied high school requirements between the U.S. and Canada, it is unclear if St-Juste will be part of the 2016 or 2017 freshman class.

The Maizenbrew says he is a 4 star.

Is he basically unrated because:

1) Rivals ans Scout doesn't typically rate Canadian players.

2) He isn't that good.

3) He's French Canadian and doesn't speak English.

4) All of the above.
