She sold livestock at auction. After sale she offered to buy it back from the buyer, who agreed. The auction house decided that regardless of their amicable agreement the goat needed to be killed. The auction house then utilized their connections with the police, who used taxpayer money and resources to file criminal charges, get a warrant, took the goat, and returned it to the auction house, who then killed it and fed it to people. All to teach a 9 year old girl that meat comes from animals. FTFY

  Not objecting is not the same as agreeing to sell it back. If I email your office and ask if I can come take your car, and you don't respond, you didn't object, but you also didn't agree that I can come take your car.

    From another article: > In her June 27, 2022, letter to Silva, Long also pointed out that she had already been in contact with Dahle’s office about his bid, and that a representative told her the lawmaker was “okay with the alternative solution of the goat getting to be donated to a farm that does weed abatement.” https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-03-30/goat-slaughter-shasta-county-fair https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-03-30/goat-sla... Now can we talk about the abuse of power and waste of resources to teach a nine year old a lesson?

      If this were true, why did she steal the goat? Can’t the owner just drop the charges? These articles all seem to only tell her side of the story, and clearly she has integrity issues. I grew up on a farm - with goats - and I can certainly understand why you would want the police involved if someone comes onto your property and takes your goats. They’re easy to steal, and hard to get back. The alternative is to round up a posse. Also - that quote doesn't sound like he agreed to sell it back to her.

She tried to withdraw the goat from sale and the fair wouldn’t allow them too - talk about heartless people

  The heartless person here is the one who decided to take her daughter's pet goat to a livestock auction (where it was explicitly clear that the goat would be turned into food).

The buyer agreed to the reversed transaction, the middleman should just shut up.

  Where is the proof that the buyer agreed to reverse the transaction? If it were true, there was no reason to commit theft, as the buyer chooses what happens to the goat (not the middleman). And of course, if they were to just shut up, that would encourage other goat thieves.

    can you read? it was in the article. Actually based on your arguments you clearly can't.

    Let's acknowledge the technical theft. Because of that, the fair gets to ignore the warrant itself and slaughter the goat even when the warrant specifically called for an arbitration?
