WINONA, Minn. (AP) – A woman on her way to St. Paul really got the goat of auto repairman James Prusci. She went to Tires Plus in Winona Friday, wanting a belt replaced on her Chevy Malibu. While he was doing paperwork, she said she had a goat in her trunk. “A what?” he asked. She told him she planned to butcher it.

It was painted Minnesota Viking colors – purple and gold – with Brett Favre’s No. 4 shaved on its side. Favre made his Vikings debut Friday in a preseason game. Prusci called animal control, which took the goat to a local vet. He was renamed Brett and placed in foster care. Animal control officer Wendy Peterson said Monday the city attorney is reviewing the case for possible citations.

I wonder, have sports fans ever been studied by anthropologists?

:shrug:

They're pretty tasty...

and, welcome to DU.

in any case, she'll probably get the animal back ant it will be the chopping block for Brett.

I hope a local ordinance blocks her, or she's too embarrassed to lay claim.

She's a nasty piece of work...

to be sacrificed on the altar of fan craze?

Of course, watching the local media, and perhaps beyond, one would think that everyone has a job and an easy access to health care, and that our troops do not commit suicide.

The link has a link to a Winona paper, and currenty (10:22 pm, 8/24) there's an article about a third crime, kidnapping of all or part of a goat herd.

I wonder if this woman hadn't bought a goat that had been used in a pep valley and was going to butcher it for Ramadan. (Yes, it's making rather a leap, but seriously. Most people do not transport goats in the trunks of their cars for butchering.)

...and had Favre's #4 shaved into its fur.

I'm guessing that ain't a standard Ramadan tradition.:P

...to the nutball owner.

(I love you Favre, but hang it up fer chrissakes.)

She should have been arrested on the spot for cruelty.
