Reader misinformed; goat slaughter is illegal

The letter to the editor about the goat slaughter from Ann Minish was very upsetting (I have a pet goat).

I have been told by the Greensboro Police and the Guilford County Sheriff's Department that the act, as she described it, is against the law.

Minish should follow up with the police that she called, as whoever she talked to was wrong and I feel they should be disciplined. Other readers should be informed that acts like this are unlawful.

i know people have their own cultural customs and all, but a few slabs of ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, colesaw and some salad for the vegetarians can bring a neighborhood together! Or atleast thats what it did when i was growing up. why kill the goat when you can milk it and make money off the cheese?

What good will that do when the perps have eaten the evidence?
