US Girl To Receive $300,000 After California County Butchers Her Pet Goat https://ift.tt/We1LXv0 An 11-year-old girl in the US state of California will be receiving $300,000 from the Shasta County Sheriff's office after it seized the kid's pet goat, which was later slaughtered, according to a report in New York Times, citing court documents. The incident took place in 2022 when the girl was raising the goat, named Cedar, for the Shasta District Fair. The family had registered the four-month-old goat in the fair's junior livestock auction but as the event approached, the kid could not bring herself to part ways with Cedar on the auction block. Jessica Long, the girl's mother sued the sheriff's office for selling and slaughtering the goat despite the family's best efforts to spare the animal. Ms. Long even took Cedar to a farm 320 kilometres away in Sonoma County to be kept safe. Family threatened to return the goat Meanwhile, CEO of the Shasta District Fair, B.J. Macfarlane threatened Long with a grand theft charge if the goat was not returned. Afterwards, two Shasta County Sheriff's deputies drove to the farm and seized the goat. The law enforcement officers did not have a warrant to search the farm and seize Cedar, the court documents added. Ignoring the family's plea, Cedar was sold for $902, of which the fair was owed $63 and eventually slaughtered, leaving the girl inconsolable, who cried under the bed, as per Ms. Long. "Unfortunately, this litigation cannot bring Cedar home. But the $300,000 settlement with the county of Shasta and Shasta County Sheriff's Office is the first step in moving forward," said attorney Vanessa Shakib, representing Long. "We continue to litigate against the California fair entity and related employees, and 4-H volunteer."

To this day, it is not clear who got the deputies involved and what happened to Cedar's remains. During the settlement, Shasta County admitted no wrongdoing despite agreeing to fork out the money which will be held in a trust until Ms. Long's daughter, who is now 11, is a legal adult. https://ift.tt/ue7zGTw November 05, 2024 at 07:32AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

UK Man Creates Giant GPS Penis Drawing To Raise Money For Charity https://ift.tt/bCGpIMO Terry Rosoman, 39, has created history by scrawling a record-breaking 120 km GPS drawing of a penis across south Wales to raise money for charity. Using the route-tracking app Strava, Rosoman, accompanied by his friend Robin Hurst, managed to draw the giant phallus in less than 24 hours to raise awareness and money for men's mental health issues. Rosoman started the campaign around 5 pm local time on Friday (Nov 1) at the Abergavenny railway station and returned to the same spot before 4:30 pm the next day. Rosoman had joked about drawing the world's largest penis when he first announced his plan in July. "Am I doing this to secure my name as the first result on Google when someone searches "world's largest c**k and balls"? Absolutely. However, I also have a far nobler cause in mind," said Rosoman in an Instagram post. As of the last update, he had raised more than $9,000 -- far more than his target of $6,500, for the start of men's charity month ‘Movember'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Terry Rosoman (@trosoman) "It was really tough. The hardest thing I've ever done in my life. It was just a hard slog for 24 hours. I didn't sleep, I ran through the night, pitch black, I couldn't see anything. We got lost loads of times," Rosoman was quoted as saying by The Guardian. "The elevation killed us. It was really tough. I'm just glad to get it done," he added. Rosoman is no rookie when it comes to endurance challenges. He has previously scaled Pen Y Fan 10 times in 24 hours and ran an 80-km ultra-marathon while carrying a rucksack full of weights. Rosoman, a marketing director by profession, said he was "in the worst physical and mental health condition" in 2013 when he decided to change his life. The Wales resident said he feared he might die from his unhealthy lifestyle, admitting he was "deeply, deeply unhappy". "I realised that if I didn't turn my life around I'd perhaps no longer be here in the future, whether that was through health complications or getting to a point where you don't want to be here."
