United States Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent out a curious tweet seeking to find the owner of a dead pet pidgin found on his front lawn Saturday afternoon. The tweet left much of verified Twitter confused.
If u lost ur pet pidgin /its dead in front yard my Iowa farm JUST DISCOVERED here r identifiers, Grassley tweeted. Right leg Blue 2020/3089/AU2020/SHE ///LEFT LEG GREEN BAND NO PRINTED INFO.
Sorry for bad news, he added.
Twitter users quickly had some fun at the fact Grassley billed the animal as a pet pidgin, while others jokingly claimed it was their pet.

(6,486 posts)could have been about that politician that ran over a guy and killed him and said he thought it was a deer. But no idea why Grassley would be talking about it, unless he just did the same thing. (Just in case: no accusation. Just mentioning a wild-ass possibility.)
