The Lake Humane Society is collecting donations for an iguana involved in an attempted assault at a restaurant last month. 

Copper, a female iguana, was swung around a man's head, thrown across the room and then fell to the ground at a Perkins restaurant. As a result, Copper suffered a leg fracture and upon further examination it was determined that she was missing a portion of her tail and has metabolic bone diseases.

Those tasked with Coppers care are requesting help in raising nearly $2,000 to cover the cost of her surgery and her continued care.
