Goat Justice!
The city of Seattle is about to be saved! The city council has approved pygmy goats!
The City Council voted unanimously to reclassify the goats — also known dwarf or miniature goats — as small animals rather than farm animals after testimony touting the virtues of the dog-sized critters as companions, weed eaters and milk producers.
"One small step for man, one giant step for goatkind," council member Richard Conlin, who sponsored the measure, said after Monday's vote.
The little goats — up to 2 feet tall and weighing 50 to 100 pounds — must have pet licenses, just like cats, dogs and potbelly pigs. However, these pets must be dehorned and males must be neutered to reduce musky odors.
They're not allowed outside the owner's yard — but other people can borrow them for grazing.
The measure was suggested to Conlin by Jennie Grant, president of the Goat Justice League, which she says has 100 members.
The Goat Justice League has arrived! Do you realize what this means? Seattle's crime rate is going to drop when the diminutive four-legged crime fighters hit the bricks! Supergoat, Batgoat, Aquagoat, Martian Goathunter and Wonder Ewe will soon be bringing truth, justice and the American way to Seattle!

Nah, I prefer the goats from the “other” super-goat universe: Spider-Goat, the X-Goats, the Fantastic Flock, Goat-rider, Iron Goat, and the Hulk-Goat.
I kid you not.

Oh yeah? What about The Silver Goatherder? He was the philosopher king of comics. Or Howard the Goat?
