Came for goats yelling like humans; leaving satisfied.

You ever hear a peacock call?  Some of them sound so much like a child or young lady screaming "Heeelp" that it has been known to create calls to 911.

One of my neighbors used to have a horse that screamed like a woman.  Scared the heck out of me the first time I heard it in the wee hours of the morning.

My dog yelps so piteously when I take my other dog on a walk I can hear it doors away. I wonder if my neighbors think I'm beating her?

Last night, I called the cops because i heard screaming in the park across the street. Turns out it was a drunk female. She looked like she might have serviced goats at some point during her career. Cops called later to thank us for the call, and relay her BS excuse...something about being startled by a squirrel.

/I know, CSB
//it seemed relevant
///and yes, cops call to thank you for citizen alerts in Canada.

Of course, if you arrive and find a goat with a condom sticking out of his rear, it might be a legit call.

How about some 12-tone goats:

You never know what goats see.

My German Shepherd does that when we fight over a stick that people do come from a block or two away to see what the yelling is about.

Have the goats stopped screaming, Clarice?

I had a male siamese cat that would scream like a human in agony. Taking him to the vet was horrible. The looks I would get at stoplights... I'm surprised the cops were never called.

When the cop tells you it was just a goat and calling 911 is a serious matter, look them straight in the eye and just say "abundance of caution".

It's cool that goats know how to get attention.

CSB:

My mother-in law called me at work one morning threatening to call animal control on my neighbors while they were having sex; she said it sounded like a baboon was beating the shiat out of a tropical bird.

No need.
The cops obviously understood the source of the confusion.
But I know most people on Fark think the cops will tase you and then steal your stash of weed.

My girlfriend's cat moved in long before she did.  The first weekend the cat was here, about two thirty AM I woke up to a young child's voice clearly yelling up the stairs, "Helllloooooo?  Helllloooo?  My naaaaaame?".   I went from sound asleep, to being convinced I was dreaming, to trying to figure out if it was coming from inside or out, to finally being willing to get up and get out of bed and open the door to check it over the course of only about five minutes, the whole time, every ten or fifteen seconds my name came wavering up the stairs.

I open the door, and absolutely nothing.

The night, same thing, only I bounce out of bed quicker, throw open the door, and see the cat sitting on the top of the stairs with a catnip mouth in it's mouth, meowing as loudly as it could over the injustice of the shut bedroom door.   It absolutely floored me how, even looking right at the cat, you'd swear it was saying hello to me, by name.

Bears do it too.

That is because the cat wanted to kill you, and it decided it wanted the fun of driving you insane first.

" the owner, who stated that he was going to take care of the goat."
Goat kabobs?

You should hear them when you ram them off a cliff.

Just kidding.  Not trying to get anyone's goat.  I'm not sure wether I should milk this.  Does anyone have a buck?

Cookeville is a fine town and home to my alma mater - Tennessee Tech.  I figured this was just some poor electrical engineering student crying about another impossibly tough exam.  I know I certainly did. Many years ago.  After drinking a few at John's Place (soon to be an historic landmark in Tennessee).
