From the Kumamoto International Slow News Day Desk: The Kumanichi reports that police in Oyano, Amakusa have taken into custody a goat found loitering at a local seaside park. Wearing a collar and comfortable with humans, the goat exhibits evidence of once being someone’s goat, but despite a thorough questioning of local residents, that someone remains obscure.
The goat has been registered with the police as a lost and found item. If not claimed within three months, the goat will either be auctioned or, (according to the article), “police will redouble their efforts to locate its owner.”
In the meantime, the goat was tethered inside the police station grounds but had eaten well over half the grass there so has since been entrusted to a local citizen. The article quotes the goat as commenting only, “Umeiiii～.”
