IBBLE, Okla. -- Some "goats gone wild" are the talk of a small Oklahoma town.
A woman received two tickets after her goats were caught mating and relieving themselves on her own yard. City law said it is illegal for any two animals to have sex in public within Dibble city limits.
It's also against law for them to relieve themselves in public even if the animal is fenced in on private land.
The owner was shocked when she heard the charges.
I kind of thought if anyone was caught having sex in public, it could have been me, Carol Medenhall said.
The woman fought the tickets and won partially because she didn't know she lived within city limits.
Her land was recently annexed by the city, located south of Oklahoma City, but she claims no one told her.
I wonder if the city has extended city services to this woman, such as water and sewer?
Trust me, there are no development plans where my parents live. It’s one of the most isolated parts of the US. Just some busy body meatheads in charge.
Umm, hate to disagree with you but PETA has nothing to do with it. According to my Mother this law has been on the books for a long time but everone just kind of looked the other way-—until recently.
Only if occurs in Enumclaw, Washington.
Thank god I moved to Virginia,
where animals can "relieve" without the threat of arrested owners.
Oh wait, we have PETA. Where the heck is PETA on this issue?
LOL
“City law said it is illegal for any two animals to have sex in public within Dibble city limits.”
So, would it have been OK if THREE goats decided to get busy?
I can’t believe I just posted this. I think I’ll have another Irish Mist...
heheheeee! :^D
hehe! THIS is what I thought of immediately when seeing YOUR photo:
Fight it. She owned the land and it was legal before. Just because a bunch of crooks at city hall push some papers around, she shouldn’t lose any of her rights.
In fact, she should be able to get a permanent exemption.
Then charge folks who want to watch.
I can’t imagine a silly law like that being on the books before the vacuuous PETA freaks came on the scene. People were just not that stupid.

Tard PING, anyone?
We were both out of town.
Will do in the AM.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, too. Fun thread.
"Tard" refers to the ping list members and not to the subject of the thread!

HURRY HOME, Eveningstar!
My goats use the lavatory.. and the bidet.
They are very clean goats.
Wait - I don’t have goats.
nevermind
I believe that was humor, in the form of sarcasm.
When a reporter stuffs a microphone in your face and asks you about your fornicating goats, you tend to say silly things.
Texas ain't moved.
Texas stays where it is at because Oklahoma (Dibble) sucks.
