Employees at Poet Christian Elementary School guided a pygmy
goat into the school kindergarten playground this morning after they spotted
the shrieking goat wondering down Central Avenue.
Kindergartner students were happy to share their playground
with the goat for a few minutes.
“They were enthralled with it,” said kindergarten teacher
Kris Thomas, who helped school administrators and Tracy Animal Control officer
Lisa McDonald capture the goat.
McDonald said she will take the goat to Tracy Animal Shelter
until she finds its owner. She thinks she knows a resident near the school who
owns the goat.
“It is legal to own two pygmy goats in town,” she said. “You
can even own a pot-belly pig.”
This is the second goat that Tracy Animal Control’s captured
at a school in the past week. A goat strolled onto Central School campus last
week.
“They just want to be educated,” McDonald joked.
