    "The second time it ate all my lotto tickets, s*** and p****d all over my floor and left mud stains on the carpet that are still there," Penny wrote
    "The way I see, it shouldn't matter if it's a f***ing pitbull or a pet butterfly, if it's coming onto your property, into your house and ruining your shit, then the council should be held responsible for making sure the correct steps are taken so it stops happening," a frustrated Penny wrote.

    Sounds like Penny put her two cents in, now it's up to the council to act.

    Im surprised no one turned this into a racial profiling joke. It sounds like a few of the bashes I've been at as a young punk.

    Ig Nobel win for Alpine 'goat man'

    23 September 2016

    A British man who lived in the Alps as a goat for three days has won one of this year's Ig Nobel prizes.
    Tom Thwaites had special prostheses made so he could walk like an animal.



    Goat-man Tom Thwaites actually shares his biology prize with another Briton, Charles Foster, who also has spent time in the wild trying to experience life from an animal's perspective.
    Clearly, the practice is fast-becoming a national trait.
    Mr Thwaites concedes his effort was initially an attempt to escape the stress of modern living, but then became a passion.
    He spent a year researching the idea, and even persuaded an expert in prostheses, Dr Glyn Heath at Salford University, to build him a set of goat legs.
    Fascinating, if a little bizarre on occasions, was Mr Thwaites' verdict on the whole venture. He developed a strong bond with one animal in particular - a "goat buddy", but also very nearly kicked off a big confrontation at one point.
    "I was just sort of walking around, you know chewing grass, and just looked up and then suddenly realised that everyone else had stopped chewing and there was this tension which I hadn't kind of noticed before and then one or two of the goats started tossing their horns around and I think I was about to get in a fight," he told BBC News.

    'Also the goats didn't seem to like me very much, sometimes I thought they were really going to try and attack me. And they have particularly dangerous horns.
    'But I later realised that they were just letting me know there was a hierarchy, and I should know my place.'
    Thwaites said: 'The best moment was when one of the goats suddenly decided she was going to be my friend, and she just followed me everywhere.
    'She would muzzle me with her nose and like to have me close. The goatherd told me at the end that the herd had accepted me as one of their number - it was a great feeling.'

    STOCKHOLM — Sweden’s Christmas Goat – a giant decorative goat made of straw and wood – didn’t last long on its 50th anniversary.
    The straw goat, an annual Yuletide tradition in the city of Gavle since 1966, went up in flames just hours after it was inaugurated on Sunday.
    Arsonists just cannot stay away from the giant decoration, which seldom survives the season without someone trying to burn it down.The local newspaper Gefle Dagblad said it was set on fire late Sunday.

    NZ Goat Drama

    Rampaging goat tasered by police
    Thursday, 01 December 2016
    A goat on a rampage in Oamaru has been tasered by police.
    Animal control officers were alerted to a "large, rogue goat" that was reported disrupting traffic on State Highway 1 this morning, Fairfax reported.
    The beast bolted, bounding over several fences, before the council workers lost sight of it.
    Police were then called to a property where the goat had been cornered in a garage by a small dog.
    "Unfortunately it was pretty stressed out and quite uncooperative, so I tasered it," Senior Constable Carl Pedersen told Fairfax.
    Police, animal control officers and a vet were unable to calm the animal, so it had to be euthanised.


    A goat with large horns, not the one pictured, was tasered by Oamaru police after running wild around a busy highway.

    Which is maybe a good thing, because usually images of goats make curry spring to mind first.

    The Ram and the Cow, I think it's one of Aesop's fables.
