Owner of randy goats shocked by tickets

NEWCASTLE, Okla., Dec. 19 (UPI) -- A woman in the small town of Dibble, Okla., said she was shocked when she was ticketed for owning a pair of goats that had sex in public.

Dibble resident Carol Medenhall said her goats' sexual behavior and public urination earned her two tickets, KXAS-TV, Fort Worth, reported Wednesday.

"I kind of thought if anyone was caught having sex in public, it could have been me," Medenhall said of the citations.

Apparently her two goats were not only relieving themselves in her fenced-in land, but mating in plain view of people passing by.

KXAS-TV said that after confronting local officials, Medenhall learned her private property had been annexed by the city recently, making such animal acts illegal.

Mendenhall had not been informed of the annexation and successfully fought to have the tickets dismissed.
