After a series of bizarre calls, police in Canada are remind­ing peo­ple to use 911 prop­erly. Const. Jamie Chung said an angry man once called the emer­gency line after buy­ing a ham­ster that gave birth to a lit­ter of 10. The man was appar­ently upset because the store refused to give him a refund! Chung also said that emer­gency dis­patch­ers have taken calls for every­thing from chick­ens cross­ing the road to bad pizza. Some­one even called in a sasquatch sight­ing! In case you were unclear, these are not real emergencies.
