‘Area Woman Drives into Ditch, Wild Animal Found in Car.”
That’s the headline I pictured appearing in my local paper, as I drove with a very large and malodorous woodchuck in a trap in the back of my SUV. I’d caught it (in a humane trap) and was in the process of relocating it. The problem is, relocating wild animals is not legal in my state. As I kept driving and driving, searching for a place that was both suitably uninhabited and shielded from detection by any police car that might happen to be driving by, I got nervous. Don’t get pulled over. Don’t have an accident. Not now, not with that varmint in the hatch.
