An escaped goat continues to roam Lowell, Massachusetts, after an escape
from a Tewksbury slaughterhouse last Friday and police have issued a
warning: do not attempt to catch it.
The 200lb animal, which has a full set of horns, was last seen "after a valiant effort to capture the goat," the Lowell police department say.
"Although goats are normally docile animals, in stressful situations, such as being loose in unfamiliar territory, he possibly can become scared and resort to acting in a survival mode," police added.
"We ask that people do not try to capture him but to please contact the
Station if he is seen. If he feels scared or trapped, he, most likely,
will strike out."
The department is working with the Animal Rescue League of Boston on a
plan to capture the goat.
"Although goats are normally docile animals, in stressful situations, such as being loose in unfamiliar territory, he possibly can become scared and resort to acting in a survival mode," police added.
