FROM STNG WIRE REPORTS
For the second time within the last month, the body of a dead goat has been found inside a bag in Skokie.

Police said Skokie’s health department received a call the morning of Feb. 10 from a resident who found the dead animal in a bag.

The village’s animal control officer came to the scene and discovered a white bag with the full body of a goat wrapped in plastic inside. The bag was located in an alley next to a Dumpster, police said.

Police said there was one difference between this incident and a similar incident that occurred last month when the body of a dead goat was discovered in Skokie.

In this case, police said, the body of the goat was found to be intact.

On Jan. 19, the mutilated body of a goat was found inside a garbage bag in a snow bank outside the Emily Oaks Nature Center on the 4600 block of Brummel Street. That goat’s body was mutilated, missing its head and limbs.

The resident who found the most recent dead goat said the animal was definitely not there the day before. The body was removed, police said.

I wonder if these are those fainting goats?
