A male Anglo-Nubian goat who was seen wandering in the Valencia Park neighborhood in San Diego California on Wednesday morning April 9 summoned 12 officers with the San Diego Humane Society (SDHS) to use a plastic orange fence to guide the goat who was in a grassy hill to get the goat to a waiting livestock trailer safely. The goat was taken to the SDHS Escondido Campus where the employees are hoping to reunite the goat with his owner soon. Link is upi.com/2001744301432 via @upi

Oh my - just where did the goat come from? It looks bigger and different from the common goats. I hope he was able to get back home (unless he really was trying to escape ).

@Deepizzaguy I hope so too. Goats are great animals. Very clever and can be very friendly.

That was one large goat, and it was good they knew how to catch it, without mishap.

So am I since a loose goat can be harmed by a motorist.

Glad they got the goat, I could use an animal friend but there are none around here except for a possum,

This goat was lucky he was not roaming about in my city. He would have been captured and slaughtered and eaten. Price of meat in shops has increased and now ordinary people cannot afford to buy meat. I have not had meat for 3 or 4 months.

That was a very clever way of herding the goat where they wanted it to go.

I am in agreement with you since harming a goat is not in the rescue mission of animal control officers.
