Authorities Investigating How Goat Herd Ran Into Traffic

Authorities Investigating How Goat Herd Ran Into Traffic

http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2011/...-into-traffic/

America, folks - not a third world country. Well, CA.

"GALT, Calif. (CBS13) — The California Highway Patrol is still investigating how a herd of goats found their way onto Interstate 5 Saturday night, triggering car accidents and leaving dozens of animals dead.

Some surprised drivers were unable to avoid the nearly 200 goats that walked onto the southbound lanes of traffic near the Twin Cities Road off-ramp, causing several accidents and inflicting non-life threatening injuries to one driver................."

This is an excellent opportunity for Mr. Glenn B. Wheaton to use his SF goat training experience to determine why those goats went onto that highway!........ Go to it Glenny and prove to us we were wrong in saying you are full of shit,a liar and a fraud..........

That's all farm-dairy country along I-5 between Elk Frove - Franklin - Galt - Lodi with lots of large dairies along there.

Goat dairies exist along there as well because goat's milk can often be a substitute for those whose systems are unable to tolerate cow's milk.

Now, let the lawsuits begin...

30-40 dead goats? Looks like the "Birria" restaurants in the area will be having " Especiales de Roadkill."

My wife teaches in that area. In the Galt-Herald area, everybody has a goat or goats. They’re family pets!
