Goat at Butte bar stolen from Fairmont Hot Springs petting zoo (Montana Standard)
more, with a picture of Shirley, at the linkThe goat that ended up at the Butte animal shelter after it was taken into a bar over the weekend had been stolen from a petting zoo, according to animal shelter authorities.
The mild-mannered pygmy goat, which workers at the Chelsea Bailey Animal Shelter call Shirley, was stolen from the Fairmont Hot Springs Resorts petting zoo, according to shelter supervisor Jacki Casagranda.
Steve Luebeck, general manager at Fairmont, said staff knew the animal was missing, but they hadnt realized it had been stolen until they saw Wednesdays article in The Montana Standard that reported a goat had been brought into an Uptown bar at 1:30 a.m. Sunday.
A patron called police, and an animal control officer took the goat to the shelter.
The goat was returned to the petting zoo on Wednesday.
