Who's calling Peta?

The Gerbils saw everything and on now with eye witness news with their full report.

But first this just came in a Kentucky woman said her young son was playing with her phone during the weekend and secretly placed an Amazon order for 70,000 Dum-Dum lollipops -- a total purchase of about $4,200.

Lexington resident Holly LaFavers said on social media that she was shocked to discover 30 cases of Dum-Dums on her doorstep, each containing 2,340 pieces of candy.

LaFavers' son, Liam, who is in second grade, admitted he had placed an order for suckers while playing with her phone during the weekend.

Each case of Dum-Dums retails for $130, making Liam's total purchase about $4,200.

Amazon initially agreed to allow LaFavers to return eight of the 30 cases, so she started attempting to sell the others to friends and neighbors. She later said in an update that "after a long day of working with the bank and talking to a few news stations" Amazon contacted her and agreed to refund the entire purchase.

"THANK YOU to everyone that offered to buy a box to help us," she wrote. "I will be happy to get you what you 'ordered' or donate them to a charity of your choice."

When we come back from break we'll have the eyewitness story of the family Gerbils that saw the dog gambling with squirrel. They are claiming that dog and squirrel were gambling. Squirrel couldn't pay up. So the dog decided to take things into his own paws.

Gerbils are asking for witness protection.

Plus when we come back also have the story of the wandering bull takes parked scooter for a joyride.


Stay tuned this is your channel 9 news with more local coverage then anyone else.

Let me know how this shakes out, I have 3 squirrels that hang around under my bird feeders in the back yard and my brother's dog comes very close to catching them, probably would get them if I didn't set up obstacles to give them an extra foot

That's what dogs do especially if you have a Rottweiler or German Shepherd... It's called their "Prey Drive" they chase anything that moves fast.. my Dad used to train German Shepherds and he had Rottweilers LOL

They should have told me that our beagle was a PETA member when we adopted her. She ignores squirrels, birds, even the rabbits we see on our daily walks.

im glad that you yelled
this is not good behaviour :)

Sorry for the squirrel but those things happen with animals.

The neighbor. They don’t respect your dog’s natural instinct to hate squirrels.

Maybe you misunderstood and they were suggesting you use what’s left of the squirrel in a pita. *chef’s kiss*

Interesting point!

I'm very confused who needs their rights???

the squirrel ......it was clearly suicide and needs to be investigated.

Lmao! Was she joking? What is PETA gonna do?

If anything I would say wildlife services but at this point I don't think they would do anything. There is nothing to do.

You can`t rat your dog out.

Squirrels aren't Peta protected, too annoying.

You must have a quick a$$ dog.. Can I borrow him/her?

It doesn't sound like there were any People Eating Tasty Animals, so how would Peta even be interested?

Great Squirrel Hunter. Aka Honky Pete

Sounds like an underachieving squirrel

Sic the dogs on the neighbor for being a PITA ;-)

And what is PETA gonna do?

Show up half naked dressed as a painted animal and get TV camera?

Throw it in the bushes and say you called peta
