>>>said they can’t get the needed federal permits to move him across state lines to a more southern location<<<
I think I see the problem. I tried to find the word “Pelican” in the text of the United States Constitution and it apparently was accidentally left out by the Founding Fathers.
Transporting the pelican across state lines may be a violation of the Mann Act. On a recent drive I became very disturbed. The sight of all those infants lying in the gutters was bad enough but when I saw a gentleman in a three piece suit on the side of the road selling pencils I realized we were in real trouble.
