Coeur d’Alene police are investigating an attack on three goats the city uses to knock down weeds at city water well enclosures. One goat was found dead and nearly decapitated, a second had to be put down, and a third survived with serious injuries, according to police and Quintin Forte, the owner of the goats. Police and animal control officers found the goats this morning at the Hanley Avenue well. Forte removed the remaining goats from the fenced well site. He has a contract with the city to rotate the goats through city properties for weed control/Scott Maben, SR. More here.
