*might* have MORE fresh-killed curried goat
.
.
as we *speak*
landlord engaged
in a HEAT-ed argument
..with another neighbor

neighbor hasn't been tie-ing up his goats
...goats came in *our* yard
&
ate one of landlords gungo pea bushes/trees

those goats can MASH-UP plants, crops, etc in quick-quick fashion

* sigh *

:-(

have heard *similar* arguments/stories
about untied goats, and/or free-roaming dogs

sometimes,
mysteriously
goats die or disappear

dogs same way
.
.
FREE-range NOT always a good idea, eh
.
.
likkle more
