(Trends Wide) — The Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control first granted a license to own a unicorn.
Madeline, a 6-year-old girl, wrote a letter to the department requesting official approval to own a unicorn, if she could find one.
In a handwritten letter posted on the department’s Facebook page, he wrote: “Dear Los Angeles County, I’d like your approval to have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one. Please send me a letter back.” “.
The department praised Madeline’s commitment to “responsible pet ownership” in the Facebook post.
A portion of this image was withheld by the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control to protect personal information.
“It is always gratifying to hear of young people reflecting on the requirements of providing a loving home for animals,” wrote the department, which withheld Madeline’s last name.
Madeline received a “pre-approved unicorn license,” which was also attached to the Facebook post.
There are conditions, of course. The license letter specifies that Madeline must give her pet unicorn “regular access to sunlight, moonbeams and rainbows,” that she must be fed watermelon once a week, that her horn must be polished “at least once a month with a soft cloth” and that “any sprinkles or glitter used on the unicorn must be non-toxic and biodegradable to ensure the good health of the unicorn.”
And since unicorns are very hard to find in Los Angeles, the department went one step further and sent Madeline a stuffed unicorn, complete with a “permanent unicorn license” tag around its neck.
