Three drunk Mexicans in a car with a tied up goat in the trunk? The answer seems pretty obvious to me—they were taking it home and were going to eat it. Is it cruelty to slaughter a goat and eat it? Arrest them for having open containers in the car or driving drunk, but this seems a stretch to call it animal cruelty.
Yours is the first sensible post.
Restraining the goat is what they did. We might not like the transport method, but they kept the goat from hurting himself, goats are not going to ride in a car without thrashing around, especially in the trunk.
Malnourished? I doubt it. Goats are thin and bony at their best.
I saw a guy buy several wiener pigs at auction once and put them in his trunk and drove off. I’m sure that was an adventure.
I’m thinking they are in league with...
ChupaCabra!
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.
