Seven goats captured after weeks roaming Kansas City, Mo

In early August, a group of goats was spotted roaming freely along the riverfront in Kansas City, Missouri. Initially thought to be part of a grazing project aimed at clearing brush, the situation took a turn when it was revealed that all goats involved in the project were accounted for. This left the origins of the roaming goats a mystery, prompting an investigation by the KC Pet Project. Despite efforts to trace their ownership, no connections were made to any reported missing goats. As the weeks passed, the number of goats dwindled from ten to seven, with three being captured by animal services. On September 12, the remaining seven goats were finally wrangled by animal services officers along the Riverfront Heritage Trail. The capture was a relief for local officials, who had been puzzled by the goats' presence and lack of identifiable ownership. Following their capture, the goats were taken to the KC Pet Project's Swope Park campus, where they will be cared for while officials continue to investigate their origins. The mystery surrounding the goats has sparked curiosity among the community, with many wondering how they ended up in the area and why no one has come forward to claim them. If no owner is identified within five days, the KC Pet Project plans to put the goats up for adoption. This situation highlights the challenges faced by animal services in dealing with stray animals and the importance of responsible pet ownership in preventing such occurrences.
