Cruelty to animals should have a bigger fine than $100. Animal cruelty shouldn't include putting your groceries in your trunk. A '95 degree' trunk doesn't seem all that excessive in temperature for the middle of June. But the image included in an earlier story gives us a clue as to what animal control authorities think is an acceptable transit condition:
A shame none of those reporters who took pictures of the goat trapped in an animal control steel box happened to bring a thermometer with them to tell us just how warm that tiny space the goat was shoved into by authorities was, containment that likely lasted longer than the car ride that the goat had in the trunk, yet is apparently fine free for them to do it, don't you dare do it yourself. Add insult to injury, this is a drunk driving checkpoint, AKA, open season to search without probable cause any vehicle which would normally require probable cause to pull it over.
Oh and someone's dinner was stolen in the process, and gosh, you get to pay a hundred bucks for the privilege.

Waste of time and money for the justice system. They’re going to slit its throat and eat it. They shouldn’t have stressed it if they wanted it to taste good. So now what happens to the goat - adoption by a couple of guys from SF?

I guess this means I can’t put my kids in the trunk any more.

Well - wait until they build all the “Super-Mosques” across the country - then I hope someone will posts the photo’s of all the “different” customs that are brought into these areas...instead of seeing photo’s of “People at Walmart” - we can have Photo’s of “Hadji at Prayer”...everything goes in a truck when it comes to third country nationals (TCN’s)....

The cops almost had to taze the goat to subdue it, but they decided a billy club was more appropriate.

Fiona Ann Enderby of Washington, D.C., told police she bought the goat from a farmer to give to four passengers in her car, who are from Kenya A gift for the 0bamas?

Transporting an animal is not cruelty.Depends how they are being transported.

Ever see a sheep being transported by horseback? I don't see much difference, except the goat was better protected from the elements.
