Girls get caught for late-night goat walk.
.... A Mankato resident called 911 at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday to report two very young girls, who turned out to be under the age of 10, were walking along Carney Avenue north of Riverfront Drive. They were in their pajamas and had a goat with them, the caller said. When an officer arrived, the girls were walking south and had crossed Riverfront Drive. They told the officer the goat belonged to them and they were just taking the animal for a late-night walk.
As the kid questioning continued, the girls kept stretching their tale. The goat lives in their bedroom closet, they said. Mom bought it a couple weeks ago, but dad didn’t know about it. So they had to keep the goat thing quiet to keep dad from suspecting anything. They also told the officer they’d been sneaking their pet out regularly for nightly walks.
....
As expected, the officer found out the story wasn’t true. He eventually learned the girls had been at a birthday party at Sibley Park’s zoo earlier Saturday. Sometime between then and late Saturday night they’d come up with their plot to return to the park and take one of the goats home.
...
The girls’ parents had no idea what they had been up to, Schisel said.
i just had to share this one from the local paper.
turns out they were 5 and 7 years old. Its a City park with a couple small animal pens featuring goats, cows, ducks, etc. How they got the goat over the chainlink fence, i will never know.
New Campaign promise.... "Redistribution of Goat"
