I just watched a story on the news about a pregnant woman being bothered while out walking her dog, by a goat. She called 911 and the police came down and shot the goat five times(he died of course). But doesn't this seem a bit overboard to shoot it five times? Wouldn't once be enough? Or do you think the cop couldn't shoot straight?

Difficult to say without more information. Perhaps the goat was being a serious jackass and needed to be shot five times in order to teach him some manners.

Shooting a goat five times does seem like the police force is "over-doing it."
Yes, I do believe just one shot would be enough, but I guess you can't take chances when there's a pregnant woman on the line.

Do they have a leash law or what, the goat didn't have a chance.But if it were a male and stubborn, they can get mean. You would have to see a mean male to understand.And no sometimes when you shoot at something, it doesn't drop dead instantly. Was the lady or officer hurt?

Sometimes animals are resilient. There was a story on the wire today about a runaway cow that withstood being tasered.

They were making hamburger. Hey, cops have to eat too.
