Kicker: Goat on the run

Editor's note: The following text is a transcript of a podcast story. To listen to the story, click on the arrow beneath the headline above.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: A rogue goat is on the lam in Ft. Washington, Maryland! It’s boldly chowing down on garden beds and lawns, dodging efforts by Animal Control to capture! Local man Jeffrey Herbert named him Billy the Goat. Sound from UPI:

HERBERT: This is the goat! He can’t be caught!

The thing is, animal control’s tried over and over, but Billy manages to slip through backyard fences. Unlike other recent stories of animals on the loose:

HERBERT: They can catch the bear and they catch the zebra, but they can’t catch the goat.

Meanwhile in Maine? 15 goats made their own break for it, escaping a trailer on the turnpike. But police did manage to wrangle them up.

Back in Maryland? Billy’s still undefeated.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
