A few weeks ago in a rural B.C neighborhood a angry goat managed to trap a woman from Abbotsford, British Columbia in her house. On her way to the car the woman noticed the goat as she was making her way to the car on the morning of January 30. As she scrambled to get in her car the goat charged at her and kicked the car. The goat then continued to chase the woman up her porch and into her house. Even though the women was out of sight the goat began ramming the front door with its head trying to break it down. The woman then fought back from within the house by throwing various household objects at the goat. The goat didn't appreciate this so it decided to knock over her barbecue as if to "send a message" according to Const. Ian McDonald. The conflict was solved when a pair of police officers grabbed the goat by its collar and dragged it back to its owner.
I think cases like this one will further investigate the effects of having animals contained in smaller environments such as farms or zoos. Events such as this one has happened in the past and hopefully scientists will do more research to come up with solutions to make animals confortable in smaller environments so events like this could be prevented.
What this is a very intetresting STORY!! What were the objects she threw at the goat? Did she get any injuries?
ReplyDeleteI agree animals should be moved to bigger environments.
I enjoyed reading your blog, and I found it interesting that there have been similar incidents in the past. I don't know if this goat was angry for being contained since the attack was in a rural area, so why could the goat have been angry?
ReplyDeleteI would be curious to find out why the goat attacked that women and how there was a stray goat in the street. It also seems that the goat had some sort of personal grudge with this women which is pretty funny
ReplyDeleteI agree with your views on keeping animals in small environments. With out the space to run around and burn energy, animals can become very unpredictable.
ReplyDeleteSounds like this goat needs to be locked up... but then again like you said Alex, there should defiantly be more research done into the effects of animals being locked up. I most defiantly agree with you. I had a buddy the other day who had to put their dog down because it was biting, but then again they were not treating it very well.
ReplyDeleteJin she reportedly threw some empty bottles of Corona at the the goat.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the lady was traumatized after being attacked by the goat. I think goats should be banned from residential areas for agressive behaviour, like pitbulls did. In conclusion, I agree, these animals should be kept in large fenced areas where they wont disturb, or be disturbed by anyone.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an angry goat. I agree that more research should be done on the effect of small enclosed spaces on animals. Good summary too.
