Goat Walks Into a Bar – Stolen Zoo Goat Found In Butte Montana

It sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but Butte has gained national attention because of a stolen goat, a zoo and a bar.

According to the Associated Press / Montana Standard

Fairmont Hot Springs Resort general manager Steve Luebeck says staffers knew the goat was missing but didn't realize it had been stolen until they saw a story in The Montana Standard on Wednesday reporting that a goat had been taken into a Butte bar early Sunday.

The pygmy goat, named "Shirley, was returned to the resort's petting zoo.

Luebeck tells The Standard he has never had an animal stolen from the zoo, which has goats and miniature horses. He says zoo managers would like to know who took the animal so they can press charges.
