Police Find Baby Goats in Trunk of Stolen Car While Arresting Suspect in Missouri
Police heard a goat-like sound before finding two bottle-fed kids in a stolen car, and the KC Pet Project says they are recovering.
Officers with the Kansas City Police Department discovered two baby goats inside the trunk of a stolen vehicle during a traffic stop in Kansas City.
During the investigation, officers heard a sound they initially mistook for a cellphone ringtone until the suspect reportedly told police, "No, those are real goats."
The Pet Project identified the pair as Denver and Aspen, noting they were thin and suffering from a "significant" intestinal parasite problem requiring immediate care.
Caregivers described the goats as "incredibly friendly" despite their condition, providing bottle feeding since the pair were too young to eat solid food independently.
Following a 10-day stray hold, the goats were placed in a "goat-savvy" foster home where the family decided to adopt them permanently.
