Lawsuit filed after California cops travel 500 miles to kill pet goat.

A California woman is suing county officials and a district fair for allegedly slaughtering and barbecuing her daughter's beloved goat following a rescue attempt she made after her daughter regretted putting the pet up for auction. The goat was purchased as part of a youth agricultural 4-H program and was slated to be sold at the Shasta District Fair's livestock auction for meat. The lawsuit alleges that law enforcement engaged in a "sham criminal pursuit" and exhibited an abuse of power. The suit is seeking punitive damages under the Fourth and 14th Amendments.
