A little goat humor

March

Readers always say we focus on the negative and sensational news, and why can’t we talk about all the good stuff that happens in the Lower Hudson Valley. So reporter Mike Risinit’s story about two wayward goats that were meandering down Interstate 684 between Bedford and Armonk yesterday was appreciated for its happy ending. The animals were finally corralled by several good Samaritans and taken to a farm in Putnam for safekeeping until they could be picked up by their owner. Several readers also couldn’t help but draw some connections between this story and a one a few weeks ago about a dead goat being found outside Assemblyman Greg Ball’s house in Putnam.

Here’s what people had to say:

A big thank you to the goats and the people who helped them. It’s a very needed bit of levity and a good chuckle in light of all the other stories in the news today.

Ohhhh, those poor babies! Thank you to all who helped rescue them.

Saw this headline and first reaction that it was another Ball stunt. However, after reading it, seems these frisky goats just wandered to far. Glad they were returned to home, safe and sound.

Actually, these goats HERD what happened to the UDDER goat in Putnam and decided to head south. Greg BAAAAAAAAALL is going to have a hard time finding them.
