Story is wild

Little girl was part of a county fair agro-educational program where they raise an animal for a few months and at the end it’s slaughtered. Supposed to teach them about the economics of farming and stuff.

But the little girl loved her goat so much she was crying on the day her goat was supposed to be taken away, so her mom sent the county fair people an email saying “I’ll pay for the goat and any expenses. We’ve had several deaths in the family in the past year, I don’t wanna take away one more thing my little girl loves.” Technically the goat had already been sold at auction, so the mom was on the hook for about $1000, only about $70 of which would have been profit for the county fair.

The county fair people were irate and got law enforcement involved, over this “breach of contract”. They literally got a fucking judge to sign a search warrant, authorizing them to go to this little girl’s house and search every room and every cabinet or box “large enough to contain a small goat”. The sheriff’s deputies seized the goat, and whoever they gave it to immediately slaughtered it, though they were supposed to wait until some kind of agreement had been worked out.

In the county fair’s initial email correspondence with the girl’s mother, they made it clear that they were pissed off because the story of the little girl who loved her goat was circulating on social media making them look bad, and they felt the girl needed to be taught a lesson about keeping your promises or whatever. So they refused the mother’s offer to pay for it, and insisted they get the goat. Even if it meant sending the fucking cops into her house lmao.

the congressman who bought the goat didn’t have any objections to the family saving the goat from slaughter either! it’s fucking insane that the cops were so eager to play act their swat commando fantasies that they played stooge to the benefit of no one except some self important local organizers!

Don’t forget the part where the goat wasn’t where they had a warrant to search, so they drove 500 miles, leaving the area they have legal jurisdiction in, then searched a farm they didn’t have a warrant for ans seized the goat. The fair then had the goat slaughtered, even though a court had ordered them to keep it alive until ownership was resolved and despite the fact that both potential owners of the goat had decided to keep it alive.

They broke multiple laws in order to “teach” a little girl the “lesson” that “everybody has to follow the rules”.

I sure hope all of the complaints sent to Shasta District Fair CEO Melanie Silva, whose decisions these were and continues to defend her actions, are polite and don’t waste too much ink. I’m certain nobody would take advantage of the fact that the Sasha District Fair and Event Center’s contact page lists their phone and fax numbers, not to mention the email form below that.

the first step in healing is realizing that you can use your stickers. you don’t need to “save” them for the perfect spot. set them free from their vinyl sheet and let them fulfill their purpose. whore.

If you can’t handle a month of vibing in your room without anything to do but circle those four walls, imagine how zoo animals feel while you watch them and take photos of their permanent isolation.

[givemeabreak57]

OP here- so the whole purpose of this post was to make fun of people refusing to quarantine, I just happened to compare it to zoo animals bc that's what it reminded me of. I’m not entirely anti-zoo, just pro-research. I only support zoos that house injured and rehabilitated animals or animals born in captivity for the purpose of education and research. I am also not a PETA supporter to the people that have been mentioning it.

Hey guys, I don’t mean to sound needy on main but my family is going through some serious financial struggles right now and we can’t really come up with the money to continue on with my schooling, that’s why I’m going to open commissions for artwork and writing! All artwork will be digital and sent to you when it’s done. All pricing will be based on workload and what you’re asking for. Any bit of help would be appreciated!!
