Supreme Court in Australia revokes license allowing couple to keep famous magpie, Molly, as a pet.

A Supreme Court ruling in Queensland, Australia, has revoked a special license allowing Juliette Wells and Reece Mortensen to keep Molly, a magpie that gained fame for its bond with their dogs. Wildlife carers challenged the license, arguing it set a precedent for keeping wild animals as pets. The Environment Department admitted to an error in granting the license and is now reviewing next steps, leaving Molly's future uncertain.
