I don’t think the issue was her slaughtering her own livestock, as many farmers and butchers slaughter animals quite frequently and nobody except Peta complains or calls the local authorities. However, farmers don’t paint their animals and then stick them in the trunk of a sedan in the middle of summer.

If that had been a ‘cute’ animal like a dog or cat in the trunk, or even a child in the backseat, people would be up in arms over the situation. Just because an animal will eventually be killed and eaten doesn’t mean anyone’s allowed to mistreat it until then.

Also, it doesn’t mention where the lady got the goat, if it was even her goat to begin with, whether she had the slightest experience caring for goats and/or properly and humanely butchering them, etc, etc. I highly doubt anyone would’ve called animal control if the goat had been in the possession of a farmer or butcher and was being transported in a suitable way.

Shaving and dying the animal's fur is certainly not a crime. As far as speculation about whether she know how to humanely butcher a goat, no animal control officer is qualified to make that determination. There's no license required to slaughter an animal. If transporting it in the trunk of a car is illegal, I'd love to see the law.
