Officials in Broken Arrow told Christie Carr she could only keep Irwin, a red kangaroo, if she had $50,000 in liability insurance, Tulsa World reported Friday. She told the City Council the premiums were beyond her means. Advertisement On Wednesday, State Farm Insurance told her Irwin was fully insured. A company representative said the person who arranged the policy wanted to remain anonymous. "All I know is it's an angel disguised as a common person," Carr said. Irwin broke his neck as a joey -- as young kangaroos are called -- at Safari's Interactive Animal Sanctuary. He suffered a severe brain injury and was paralyzed. Carr has been caring for him ever since. Broken Arrow banned exotic pets after a resident was discovered keeping two lions. Officials plan to revise the ordinance in May to allow them under certain conditions. That includes insurance in case the animal injures someone.
