Can't fit a llama in to my backyard.

Especially not a *known* fence jumper!

Mmm, yes, these *known* felons are a worry. A wonder if he's also been suspected of several other freedom seeking misdemeanours, including tunnelling?

You'd have to dig a BIG tunnel to get a llama out.

Mind you in these uncertain days bootleg llamas are big bucks - they ship them out of the country in very large postpacks to feed the international black market.

Just as long as it's not suffering from llama psychosis.

Must go to deer farm? Je ne comprend pas.

I think deer are also known jumpers and have to have very high fences!

Yes, that makes sense!
