MANKATO, Minn. -- Everything went according to plan for two pajama-clad stepsisters who took a goat they'd freed from a Minnesota zoo for a late-night walk.
Until they told the Mankato police officer who stopped them about 11:30 p.m. Saturday that the animal lived in their bedroom closet.
The stepsisters, ages 6 and 7, said they regularly took the goat out for late-night walks because Dad didn't know their mother had bought it two weeks earlier.
The unconvinced officer walked the girls home, where their parents explained they'd attended a birthday party at the Sibley Park Zoo earlier that day. That's when they hatched a plan to take one of the goats home.
From the last paragraph, it could be read that the parents hatched the plan, not the kids? LOL..gotta be careful overusing those pronouns ;-)
It's not cute or fun (least of all for the goat), but alarming.
The kids weren't "good hearted", but selfish brats who stole someone else's animal for their own pleasure, not caring about its welfare. Children of school age shouldn't steal in the first place. They're old enough to know they shouldn't take what doesn't belong to them.
Not everything little chlidren do should be put down to "kids will be kids".
No wonder kids have no respect for the law, peoples rights, animal rights or morals anymore. The only new rule I see being set down following your guidelines is to not get caught. Outrageous and unbelievable.
I can only hope your post is a joke to get a reaction and sincerly hope people follow your opinion blindly, trailing their innocent children behind them.
Nothing about stealing is cute.
LOL : )__
