Law enforcement kills girl's pet goat despite her refusal to sell.

A California woman is suing the Shasta County Sheriff's Office and the Shasta District Fair and Event Center for violating her and her daughter's right to due process and their right against unreasonable search and seizure. The lawsuit alleges that law enforcement officials seized the family's pet goat, Cedar, to be slaughtered after the daughter refused to sell him at a livestock auction. The girl had spent months caring for Cedar and couldn't bear to lose him. The lawsuit claims that fair officials turned to law enforcement, taking what should have been a civil property dispute into the criminal justice system.
