A treasured goat named “Bluebird” was expected to recover after likely being snatched by frat boys from her upstate New York farm.
Bluebird, somewhat dehydrated, was found tied to a lamp post near University Heights in Albany, N.Y., a day after her kidnapping from Merrie-Meade Farm in Slingerlands.
The 50-pound, 7-month-old doe, who also answers to “Birdie” and “Baby Bird,” likely was stolen as a fraternity prank, said police and Bluebird’s owner, Amanda Dionne. In fact, several frat boys were caught a year ago trying to break into the farm’s goat barn, she said.
‘”We knew someone grabbed her because goats are herd animals and will never take off on their own,” said Dionne, who feared the kidnappers would turn Bluebird loose and she would be hit by a car.
”Our animals are like part of our family so for us it was like someone kidnapped one of us,” Dionne said. ”This is not funny to us, and we hope someone is held accountable.”

Oh my, I can’t write down what I’d like to do to those frat boys, involves terrorism.
The University Cancellor should put out a notice that if any students are suspected of kidnapping any animals they will be suspended while an investigation continues and will be thrown out of school if found guilty.
I’ll second that! And knowing how much you love your goats, and the incredible care you take of them, those frat boys would have much more to worry about if they came face-to-face with you and your hubby instead of the police. You go girl!
