Pennsylvania - (Rioters): A wanton elk is at the center of a Fayette lawsuit today as student Ms Amy Walters prepares to sue her university for negligence following a biology examination incident when the hunting trophy allegedly leapt from its wall mounting, hit Ms Walters on the head and then snuggled into her lap.
"It was scary I can tell you", said the student whose lawyers have now filed legal documents for recompense against serious repercussions which include 'headaches, loss of enjoyment of life and embarrassment and humiliation'.
Pennsylvania State University lawyers have responded to news of the proceedings by stating the whole incident has been blown up out of all proportions: "The moose was never loose. And the plaintiff's assertion that she may have been stalked by one of the "several wild game heads displayed on the walls about the room" is also unreasonable.
"Certainly there was no cruel or unusual intent in siting the biology exam in the game trophy room."
But Walters' lawyers are demanding a substantial six figure settlement to compensate for what they believe is mental trauma and emotional scarring that could last a lifetime.
The case continues.
