Three men were arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty on Friday after Morgan Hill police discovered a goat hog-tied in the trunk of their car, a police sergeant said.
A patrol officer pulled over the car after the driver cut him off on Monterey Road near San Pedro Avenue, Morgan Hill police Sgt. Jerry Neumayer said.
The driver, 40-year-old Ciro Paredes of Morgan Hill, did not have a driver's license, and the officer smelled alcohol in the vehicle, according to Neumayer.
During a search of the car, the patrol officer found open beer cans and plastic bags filled with what he suspected was crystal methamphetamine, Neumayer said.
The patrol officer reported that he heard what he thought was a crying baby coming from the trunk of the car, according to Neumayer.
The officer looked in the trunk and found a goat that had been hog-tied. The animal was malnourished but alive, Neumayer said.

Yes, it is cruelty to tie up the goat and stick it in the trunk, which is why it was crying out. There are rules about hunting, and rules about how to sacrifice animals for meat etc. so that it is done humanely. Those rules are there for a reason. That goat is much closer to us in intelligence and its place in the universe than we are in comparison to God, but God doesn’t treat us cruelly. If I saw them do this, three of them wouldn’t be enough to stop me from making them wish they had bought a box of pop tarts instead of being thoughtless cruel a**holes.
LOL! Is that ‘shopped?
I agree with your comments. Since before recorded history humans have been aware of the dilemma about having to kill for food. Countless forms of ritual slaughter and the drawings at Lascaux cave attest to spiritual beings who treated their quarry with respect. I have no sympathy for those who are cruel to animals, even if they are only meant to be eaten.
Now is that any way to treat your girlfriend?
Figures!
Morgan Hill is just an extension of the mentality of Sam Josie.
Hispanics - I know this one - they were going to torture and kill it for a ritual of Palo Mayombe. Disgusting.
“I hope the goat ends up adopted by someone out of a shelter.”
What’s a homeless guy going to do with a goat?
I hope the goat ends up adopted our of an animal shelter by a loving and caring family or person.
Better?
