"There's a Deer in my Closet"

EAGAN, Minnesota- Colleen Slattery screamed as deer crashed through her bedroom window, leapt over her bed and through the walk-in closet into the bathroom. "I was terrified," she said. Moments earlier, a loud bang had startled her and her boyfriend awake. Beau Williams jumped from bed thinking a burglar was busting in but saw big beige animals crash through the window of their Eagan apartment. "Crap," he said. "It's deer." Slattery frantically called 911. "There's deer in my closet," she said. "And there's a goat in my pantry," said the dispatcher. "Do you know it's illegal to make calls like this to 911?" But Slattery wasn't the only resident facing a wildlife invasion. Eric Tantilla had called 911 seconds earlier. After numerous calls from residents saying that deer were attempting to invade their apartments the 911 operators sent police who couldn't believe what they found. Several deer had attempted to enter resident's apartments, with some having obvious success. On Monday, Williams and Slattery waited as a hazardous material removal crew cleaned up the bloody mess and workers replaced broken windows. "It looks like a murder scene," Slattery said. "We haven't been able to sleep much," she said. "We jump with every noise."
Cocky Cock Kills Cock Fight Customer

DELANO, California- A California man attending a cockfight has died after being stabbed in the leg by a bird that had a knife attached to one of its limbs. 35-year-old Jose Luis Ochoa was declared dead after he suffered the injury. An autopsy concluded Ochoa died of an accidental "sharp force injury" to his right calf. "When deputies arrived, people started fleeing," Sgt. Martin King told KGET in Bakersfield. "One of the roosters jumped at the decedent, inflicting an injury and causing his death." A man who wished to remain anonymous said, "This is going to be bad for business. When cocks kill customers, it makes it that much harder to get butts in seats. I may have to start doing a two for one deal on tickets."
...Hiding Under Car

...the one time you want the car alarm to go off in the middle of the night, it didn't. I think the damn cougar bit right through something important and the alarm just didn't work. Poor, Snookies, probably thought I didn't care about him," said Toober.
Pet Boar Scares Neighbors

HARLIGEN, Texas- Growing up, it was always said there wasn't a critter Tim Messina couldn't tame. And his pet boar, Ralph, seems to prove Messina still has that gift. His neighbors, on the other hand, are not happy at all and want nothing to do with the "gift." Sidney Dorfman recently told reporters, "I know this is Texas and everything, but, when you walk out to get the morning newspaper and see Ralph... it's just plain scary. Should I have to carry a cannon of a firearm just to feel safe in my own neighborhood? I mean, aren't some zoning laws being violated here?" Messina says Ralph is a real "pussycat that just wants to lay in the clover and have me scratch his ears." Texas Wildlife Authorities are considering the matter.
End Of The World Is Coming, Say The Animals

PORTAGE COUNTY, Wisconsin- When it comes to mass animal death in 2011, birds do it, fish do it, and now even cows do it. For a number of Christian theologians, it suggests the End of Days is near. After the Portage County Sheriff's Department discovered "numerous dead cows" in a field, some are certain the Biblical prophecy of The Rapture is at hand. Some Christians, including online theologian Paul Begley, believe the death of cows, birds and fish follow the prophecy set out in the Book of Hosea, and the result when man turns his back on God. "Unless these animals are trying to fool Christians by committing mass suicide, falsely suggesting the End of Days in near, I think it could be happening." Asked why animals would try to deceive Christians in that way, Begley said, "Why not? Satan couldn't be working through them? It's just something I think could happen."
