Police Kill Farmer’s Prized Goat After ‘Fearing For Their Lives’

Matt Minnick’s $1,200 prized New Zealand goat named Volt.
Portland, OR — Matt Minnick is a small farmer in Portland who is now very upset after a Washington County Sheriff’s Office Deputy shot and killed his top breeding goat Sunday morning.
Because of the new construction by Minnick’s property, some damage was caused to a portion of his fence that his $1,200 prized New Zealand goat named Volt managed to escape through.
Volt was not some pit bull or rabid German Shepard — he was a goat.
