Animal Precinct season 6 episode 8, titled "Ferris Wheel; Iguana Investigation," follows the dedicated team of animal control officers from the New York City's ASPCA as they work tirelessly to investigate two separate cases involving animals in distress.
In the first case, Officer Vidal responds to a call regarding a group of ducks trapped beneath a Ferris wheel in a local amusement park. Upon arrival, Vidal quickly realizes that the situation is more complicated than he initially thought, as the ducks are trapped in a tight space underneath the machinery. With the help of the amusement park staff and some creative thinking, Vidal and his team work together to free the ducks from their precarious situation.
Meanwhile, Officer Annemarie Lucas is called to investigate a case of animal neglect involving a group of iguanas in a private home. Upon arriving at the house, Lucas is shocked to find that the iguanas are living in squalor, with no access to clean water or proper food. The owner, a young man, is reluctant to surrender the animals, but Lucas and her team work to educate him on proper care and eventually convince him to give up the iguanas so they can be rehabilitated and find new homes.
As the two cases progress, viewers are given a glimpse into the daily life of animal control officers and the many challenges they face as they work to protect animals and ensure their safety and well-being. From the high-pressure rescue operation at the amusement park to the emotional confrontation with the iguana owner, "Ferris Wheel; Iguana Investigation" is a tense and poignant episode that highlights the importance of animal welfare and the crucial role played by animal control officers in protecting and caring for animals in need.
