By the way, there's a goat in my trunk...

I found this news story bizarre:

WINONA, Minn. - A woman on her way to St. Paul really got the goat of auto repairman James Prusci. She went to Tires Plus in Winona Friday, wanting a belt replaced on her Chevy Malibu. While he was doing paperwork, she said she had a goat in her trunk. "A what?" he asked. She told him she planned to butcher it.

It was painted Minnesota Viking colors — purple and gold — with Brett Favre's No. 4 shaved on its side. Favre made his Vikings debut Friday in a preseason game.

Prusci called animal control, which took the goat to a local vet. He was renamed Brett and placed in foster care.

Animal control officer Wendy Peterson said Monday the city attorney was reviewing the case for possible citations.

I wonder if this goat will make an appearance at the next Vikings game?

What the f? Who puts a goat in their trunk?

Did she purchase the goat legally? Does she live on a farm? Are such activities regulated? I see nothing wrong with a woman wanting fresh goat meat... aside from the fact that it's too chewy and stringy.

Every state has animal cruelty laws that can cover active and passive acts. The (federal) Animal Welfare Act only regulates treatment of animals used in US Department of Agriculture licensed facilities.

So we learn, ensure the goat is dead before putting it in your trunk. No cruelty there and plenty of goat meat. yuk
