The family of a child whose pet goat was seized and then slaughtered due to the technicalities of a county fair has received a $300,000 settlement from a California county.
Jessica Long sued Shasta county after sheriff’s deputies there seized her daughter’s goat, Cedar, for slaughter. The recent six-figure settlement to which Long’s family and the county agreed resolved the legal differences between them, though the litigation is still pending against other defendants.
