The JCPD named the goat "Sky." I would have gone with "Pulaski." Hope she ends up on a farm after all that trouble, not the alternative.

It is a poetic thread title.

This amuses me greatly. A lot more than the fox in Central Park.

Hero goat...link

i volunteer with the woodstock farm animal sanctuary (woodstocksanctuary.org), and this happens all the time. when we hear about this we try to get more info incase there is a chance the animals might end up going back to be slaughtered, we try to get them to release them to a sanctuary instead. what i have heard from LHS is that this goat will be safe although the story is vague.

just a few months ago a goat was running around a parking lot in brooklyn, a bunch of us were calling to find out more while someone was on their way with a trailer to bring him to safety.
he's at the sanctuary now and adjusting quite well, you can read his story here... http://www.woodstocksanctuary.org/meet-the-animals/goats/wilfred/

my partner and i got a call that a chicken was in columbus circle in the bushes, when we had a little more info we met up with the people who found him (turned out to be a rooster), and he stayed the night with us before getting a ride up to the sanctuary the next morning.

chickens in parks, and goats, cows, running down the street, found tied to a tree (in prospect park), these stories are really common, unfortunately. and then there's people getting baby bunnies and chicks for easter and then just putting them in a park when they get too big thinking they will be fine (not true with domestic breeds).

someone said it "boggles the mind, no one would believe you," but i certainly would!

Now I know what made me late for work. I drove by the 4 cars involved in the accident the three cars behind the lead car were crushed, they looked like an accordion.

It could have escaped one of the halal meat places on Newark Ave or in the general area. There have also been goats spotted along Garfield Ave and near Caven Point in the past.

Seriously... the stuff that goes on around here boggles the mind... you can't make it up... no one would believe you.

any one see that goat that was on the pulaski skyway this morning?

thankfully i missed it by a few minutes.

Anyone know where it came from?
