Escaped 'peeping goat' captured after weeks on the loose in Chatham

After escaping from a local meat packer a few weeks ago with them popping up on people's doorbell cameras, the peeping goat as he's been called is resting here at Creekside Farm probably exhausted after slipping through the hands of police several times. The goat has been on on our radar for a good handful of times where we responded and we failed to or lack of better terms, we failed to capture the goat. But on Monday at a construction site on Noy Avenue, a crew of workers able to wrangle it. Nick Genteel is the contractor building. The home was just, you know, a comical situation. It was a woman that came with a bucket of food and was able to lure him out. But in the meantime, we had emergency people who had three police officer in a quick and serious chase down of the poor animals. We put the goat in the trailer with the rope. It was a, it was a bit of an evolution to get that done. But uh you know, we got him handled. Police asked Ryan Hiley of Creekside Farm if he would take the goat right now, he's not sure if it will be permanent. I mean, we have two other goats and two other donkeys and ducks and chickens. So it would be a great place for him to grow up. Now, the goat in an enclosure here at the farm because not only was he a good runner, he also could leap several feet over a fence. Meanwhile, the peeping goat still without a real name. Yeah, I'm not taking ownership on the name, but a few community members have reached out to us and they want to give it a name and all that stuff. Yeah. So I think it would be great for the community and have it in town and you know, people can visit for now. They're waiting on a vet to come and make sure he's healthy and vaccinated before they introduce him to the other goats in Chatham Township, Samantha Lieman News. 12 New Jersey.
