BEDFORD, Va.
BEDFORD, Va. (AP) — Authorities said a regional drunken-driving checkpoint led to the discovery of a goat, bound and shoved in the trunk of a car. The Bedford Sheriff's Office said the car, driven by 32-year-old woman, pulled up to the checkpoint on Friday night when deputies heard noises from the trunk.
When asked what was in the trunk, the [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]driver[/color][/color] said she bought a goat from a farmer to give to the four passengers in her car, who are from Kenya but reside in Lynchburg. The goat was panting heavily and animal control officers said the temperature in the trunk was 94 degrees.
The woman told deputies she is from the United Kingdom and transporting goats in this manner was acceptable there. She was charged with cruelty to an animal and released.

Cruelty to an animal. WTF, I'm sure these guys weren't planning on making love to it when they got it back home. They were from Kenya, not WV or Arkansas. Besides that, 94 degrees? I'm surprise they didn't go back and arrest the farmer for not having the goats in an air conditioned barn or his own house. It's been hot this last week. Temps been closer to triple digits.

Beyond stupid. Guess she should have cut it's throat and dressed it out on the farm, and transported it in a cooler.
Goat meat isn't bad at all--like most anything, how it's prepared makes the difference. Boer goats are meat goats, and last time I checked it was a booming business--in the U.S.

I hope the goat didn't pee in there... That scent never goes away. My dad shot a goat on a hunt over thirty years ago and had the head mounted. That SOB still stinks...
+1 on the stinky goats ips. One of our clients has a mounted goat that must (per his wife) now reside outside in the garage. That sucker is rank! I think he shot it over 10 years ago.

Funny. It reminds me of some experiences from my Peace Corps days. Once, I transported a goat on the back of my Yamaha DT-125. Not an easy or quiet task.

If it was dead in the trunk would it still be animal cruelty?
