So I get a lot of random emails and press releases because I used to write for a news blog in Detroit, even though I haven't lived in Michigan since October. Just got this one from PETA. I know the Fulmer Cup is dead but illegal wallaby possession and sale has to be worth something. Emphasis theirs.

quote:

Dear Travis,

I've got a story for you about some University of Michigan (UM) players who appear to be in possession of, and trying to sell, a wallaby, illegally.

On June 30, PETA found an advert posted by UM football player Jack Wangler for a wallaby for sale on the website Exotic Animals for Sale. That ad listed a phone number, which we later learned belongs to UM hockey player Cutler Martin, and stated that the animal is located in East Lansing. Laws in both Ann Arbor and East Lansing prohibit the possession of exotic animals such as wallabies (Ann Arbor Mun. Code s. 9:38(1); East Lansing Mun. Code s. 4-4(a)). We have .pdf files of all of these ads.

A PETA Foundation attorney contacted Cutler to discuss the surrender of the wallaby to the Detroit Zoo. PETA agreed to provide Cutler with $500 in exchange for surrendering the animal to the Detroit Zoo and agreeing not to own exotic animals in the future. Cutler initially lied about his identity and provided a false email address to the attorney. Later that day, after the attorney told Cutler that PETA may be forced to pursue alternate means of ensuring that the animal is properly surrendered, Cutler called and identified himself.

On July 1, the PETA Foundation attorney spoke with Cutler again and although he had agreed to the $500 figure the day before, Cutler stated that he now did not think that $500 was enough money to compensate him for surrendering the animal and stated that he wanted more. Cutler also stated that he was considering selling the animal to a roadside zoo that was interested in purchasing the animal. The attorney pointed out to Cutler that [b]federal law requires a U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal Welfare Act license in order to legally sell a wallaby.[/]b

Also on July 1, PETA submitted a letter to UM President, Dr. Mark S. Schlissel, informing him of the situation, including the fact that Cutler had offered the animal for sale despite being advised that doing so would be illegal.

Please let me know if you would like to speak to PETA's Deputy Director of Captive Animal Law Enforcement who has been working on this case and has all the information you will need.

PETA has offered Martin a happy ending to this story, for both himself and the wallaby. High-profile animal acquisitions such as this one serve to endorse private exotic-animal ownership and support the cruel exotic-animal trade. As a result of crowded living conditions, poor ventilation, and a lack of food, water, and basic care, many animals exploited in this trade die in the clutches of breeding facilities and dealers before they ever reach a pet store. Those who survive often die because caretakers are unprepared to take on the huge task of caring for an exotic animal.

Thanks for your time and consideration. Do let me know if you would like any more information.

CJ Conrad a 4* TE, probably going to start because he's good and we have no eligible tight ends except for Darryl Long who redshirted last year.

Derrick Baity a 3* DB, May start because he has size and athleticism and our CBs are a disaster

Chris Westry a 3* DB, (see Derrick Baity)

George Asafo-Adjei a 4* OL, may start because he's been way better than expected and our OL is still not really set.

Here's his original ad: http://www.exoticanimalsforsale.net/wallabies-for-sale.asp Not much to see there, other than the fact that there are apparently lots of people out there looking to buy, sell, or trade wallabies.

We've got a handful of first-year guys who will likely start for us but they're JUCO/transfer players, so I guess that doesn't count. The only true freshman who has a chance at starting is probably DE Dexter Wideman. We were a pretty young (and stupid) team last year, so I'm glad there's not as much youth in the picture.

DE Byron Cowart and CB Tim Irvin look like the best candidates. Cowart I'd expect to have a first year that looks like Carl Lawson's and Montravious Adams', plenty of playing time but they don't become the top guy overnight; timetable might be pushed up with Elijah Daniel's dismissal. Irvin might be starting sooner rather than later with some major depth issues in the secondary.

I'm holding out hope that Maty Mauk somehow puts it together this year because I am an idiot.

Also, I'm trying to go to a game this year, my options are SEMO/UCONN/South Carolina. Obviously South Carolina is preferable, but if I can't swing that should I go see SEMO get sandblasted or UCONN get killed?

Notable reported incidents include:
11 cases where patrons were found either inside or near a bathroom stall, or standing or kneeling next to a trashcan, either dry heaving or vomiting onto themselves or the ground, toilet or waste receptacle;
A 21-year-old male attempting to prove he wasn't drunk to a police officer by placing a dollar bill in his wallet, only to be unable to do so;
A 20-year-old male accused of groping females in the stands while intoxicated prior to his arrest;
A 19-year-old male admitting not knowing where he was when found in someone else's seat covered in mud after drunkenly confessing to falling in a creek;
A 22-year-old male walking around the outside of Kinnick Stadium drinking an open bottle of Fireball;
A 50-year-old male accused of purposely pouring beer on the keyboard of another patron's laptop at a tailgate after asking them to turn down their music and then claiming it was an accident;
A 35-year-old male drunkenly attempting to enter Kinnick Stadium without a ticket, instead handing the ticket taker a $20 bill only to be denied;
A 25-year-old female slapping an officer's hand and refusing to heed his assistance as she drunkenly fought with her boyfriend;
A 41-year-old male falling asleep in the stands after drunkenly vomiting all over himself and others;
A 23-year-old male drunkenly standing and dancing in front of heavy traffic, causing a backup after a game; and
A 25-year-old female blew a .273 into a breathalyzer, the highest reported blood-alcohol level from Hawkeye home games.

.273 being the highest is honestly a little disappointing, Vodka Sam was like a .34 or something
