So this guy has a backyard zoo. (Maybe he's into wildlife rehabilitation, I don't know.) He's got a proud but toothless old circus lion, chimps, wombats, coupla roos, and porpoises in the swimming pool.
He reads an old textbook that says the porpoises will live forever if he can feed them herring gulls. So he goes out, catches some, and returns home.
As he comes to his back yard gate, he sees he left it open, and the lion is sleeping across the opening. But that's OK, he's a pleasant old lion. So our hero just steps over him, carrying the caged birds.
And is immediately arrested. What for? Transporting gulls across a stately lion for immortal porpoises, of course.
