However simple you think getting this goat could be, you're probably underestimating ol' Billy. There was a drone involved, a lasso, an attempt to ram a truck, an escape through a window... you've goat to be kidding! 🐐
An elusive goat who had police and residents scrambling for more than three days after running away from his owner was captured in Irondale before breaking loose and going on the run again.
“It was the homeowner on Montclair Road at the edge of Irondale who roped him. Someone else was following Billy in their car and the homeowner grabbed a rope and lassoed him cowboy style!” said Reese Goode, who helped track down the goat Thursday afternoon.“It started developing into a whole scene around the guy’s backyard with people pulling up from everywhere very quickly,” he said.
“I called the police and they came. Also, another woman came who has a goat sanctuary. She has been tracking Billy this whole time and had goats in her car, a goat t-shirt on and goat food for Billy,” Turnipseed Moss said. “We gave Billy water and food and she took Billy with her.”But Two by Two Rescue Animal Rescue, which has been involved in the search effort, said Billy managed to escape.
The initial search for Billy began around 8:30 a.m. Monday, when Birmingham police responded to a report of a goat in the 800 block of Montclair Road. Officers were assisted by Mountain Brook police. Turnbough then recorded video of the goat when the animal’s owner walked up to the site’s entrance. He said the owner told him the goat jumped out of the owner’s window.
Mountain Brook said it got another goat sighting call Monday night “but it ran from officers shortly after they arrived.”“Anyone missing a large white goat, black accent markings around head, and with horns?” he asked on social media.
