Goats Get It On, Get Ticket

Apparently, in Dibble, Oklahoma, they have a time machine that can take the authorities all the way back to the era of the Puritans:

A woman in the small town of Dibble, Okla., said she was shocked when she was ticketed for owning a pair of goats that had [mated] in public. Dibble resident Carol Medenhall said her goats' sexual behavior and public urination earned her two tickets, KXAS-TV, Fort Worth, reported Wednesday. Apparently her two goats were not only relieving themselves in her fenced-in land, but mating in plain view of people passing by.

KXAS-TV said that after confronting local officials, Medenhall learned her private property had been annexed by the city recently, making such animal acts illegal. Medenhall had not been informed of the annexation and successfully fought to have the tickets dismissed.

Still, to avoid giving further offense to innocent passers-by, Medenhall really ought to outfit the female goat with one of these. Cotton Mather would approve.

So what's the worst part here? That goat sex on her land was declared illegal... or that her land had been annexed without even bothering to inform her?

Didn't citizens used to have to vote on annexation before it took place?
