I thought California had a $950 free shoplifting rule. They don't chase you if you burn down half a city rioting, but they have that much time for a stolen goat?
They seem to miss that this the point of 4-H and all of this. I remember growing up we raised lots of different animals and my brother and I reminded people at the dinner table who we were eating by name. Didn’t go over well. But that is life, too few people realize where food comes from.
I bought goat while in Jerusalem, asked the guy the best way to eat it, he said, with a fork.
During the depression, my Dad and his brothers (children at the time) raised rabbits. They named one of them “Steve”.
One evening, they had fried Steve for dinner. The boys weren’t too happy about it, but it was the depression ... They didn’t name any more rabbits. And I learned, at a very young age, not to name livestock.
Well I think the goat suffered the most.
The paperwork and sales contract is signed when the animal is weighed in as a market animal. There are non market categories to enter.
I am suspicious that mom is an animal rights activist deliberately setting up a test casr.
I hope the fair board countersues.
If she had pumped it full of aintibiotics it would have been disqualified and not fit for meat consumption.
Wow, you raise meat goats (Boer) and they get used for meat? Color me shocked.
where’s the beef...
Sometimes they are auctioned for breeder stock.
So you think people have a right to renege on a signed contract via theft because “feelings”.
Dumbasses like you is how we will all end up with mealworm burgers.
This couldnāt be an April Fools joke. Oh ā¦ wait ā¦.
Doesnāt sound like a successful law suit. Sad she lost her goat. But, she did enter it in an auction. A shame the fair took it so seriously and didnāt allow her to withdraw from the auction.
The issue is with the mom who signed the forms, knowing it would be used as food.
these auctions IMO are generally run to help the country kids earn money and the bids are much higher than normal for that reason....
this woman is a liar and a cheat.
4H and state fair livestock auctions always go for far above market value. Itās part of how the game works.
The girls mom is an idiot.
“However, the family decided to enter Cedar into the Shasta District Fairās junior livestock auction on June 24, 2022 - where the animals are sold off to be used as meat.”
Why did the family do this if they wanted to keep it as a pet?
Just get another goat.
Why is it everybody else’s fault that they screwed up?
That just means the muslims wander around looking pitiful during daylight hours and party hearty after sunset.
I hope the county sues for lawyer fees and punitive damages for a frivolous lawsuit.
