Livestock Crime Edition: Goat Wrangling in Hawaii



More than 20 goats, worth $10,000 were stolen from a Hawaii farm last week in a nasty act of livestock wrangling.  The thieves used duct tape on the muzzles of the goats to keep them quiet.  The thieves left behind other goats at the family farm on the north shore of Oahu, muzzles taped and tied together by the neck.
 
Not the goats that were stolen
Cattle wrangling is an ancient crime in Texas that still finds purchase in current times, with a man in Cleburne, Texas sentenced to fifteen years for the theft of five calves in July 2013. (Full Story)  

This is the first I’ve heard of goat wrangling.  Hopefully in Hawaii, they’ll take this theft and animal cruelty as seriously as they do in Texas.
