WATCH: Deputies chase down loose goat in Florida county
Published in Weird News
(UPI) Sheriff's deputies in Florida conducted a hoof pursuit of a goat on the loose -- and ended up rescuing a second goat from a fence entanglement.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office said on social media that Deputy Victoria Hammons and Deputy Federico Peguero responded to a call about a goat on the loose.
"'Billy the Kid' was feeling a bit 'baaa-d' that day and made a valiant effort to avoid them," the post said. After about five minutes of a comedic hoof pursuit, Deputy Hammons apprehended the 'hoove-nile' delinquent.
The goat was returned to its owner, but the deputies were then told of another goat entangled in a chain-link fence nearby.
"After returning the young goat to its enclosure, they located the trapped animal, which had recently given birth. Deputy Hammons was able to untangle the chain-link fence and freed the mama to care for her newborns," officials wrote.
