April 23 (UPI) — Police in Georgia are hot on the trail of a “hoofed Houdini” — an escaped goat — spotted running loose in Duluth.

The Duluth Police Department said on social media that numerous calls came in Tuesday reporting a loose goat “trotting” on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard “like it had somewhere very important to be.”

“Officers responded and attempted to corral the hoofed Houdini as it made its way toward Albion Farm Road, where it hopped a few fences and outsmarted us by disappearing into backyards,” the post said.

Police suspect the goat might be the same animal seen running loose recently in Suwanee.

“Apparently, it had unfinished business in Duluth,” police wrote.

  2. Llandudnp in North Wales has a herd of free roaming goats on The Great Orme , a small mountin that forms part of the bay.

    During the Covid crisis, with less viusitors to the town and most locals in Lockdown the goatys were often found sauntering the streets looking for treats in the various gardens of the townsfolk. Nothing was sacred and prize flowers were cropped.

    A battalion of the Royal Welsh Fiusileers gets it’s mascot from the herd. Ther origins of these Kashmiri goats is quite interesting.
