Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control granted a young girl’s request to house a unicorn in her backyard — as long as she maintains the mythical creature in a humane way.
The agency even sent a letterhead response to the girl, Madeline, listing all the conditions under which she could keep a unicorn. If she can find one, that is.
“I would like your approval if I can have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one. Please send me a letter in response,” read Madeline’s Nov. 14 missive to the county, which Animal Care and Control posted on its Instagram.
After two weeks, Madeline received a response from the head of the agency, Marcia Mayeda, granting her request.
“Enclosed is a preapproved unicorn license for when you can find one,” Mayeda wrote.
The department sent the girl a stuffed unicorn to hold onto until she is able to find a living unicorn.
The approval came with five conditions, including that any glitter used on the unicorn be biodegradable and nontoxic and that the unicorn be fed its favorite treat — watermelon — at least once a week.
