California County Settles for $300K Over Seized Pet Goat's Slaughter
A California family received a $300,000 settlement from Shasta County after their child's pet goat, Cedar, was seized and slaughtered due to county fair rules. The family had attempted to withdraw Cedar from auction, but fair officials refused, leading to a legal battle over the goat's seizure and slaughter. The lawsuit claims violations of due process and unreasonable search and seizure. While the settlement resolves issues with the county, litigation continues against other parties involved.
