SIDNEY (AP) — A Maine town is having problems with goats repeatedly escaping from a farm and grazing on the side of Interstate 95.
The Morning Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1wW6Rbn) reported that Sidney officials said Mark Gould’s goats were seen grazing astride the highway near mile marker 122 on Sunday and Monday. State law says a domestic animal cannot trespass on government-owned property and the animal’s owner could be subject to a fine.
Sidney officials said a state-maintained fence in the area is designed to keep animals off the road, but it isn’t working. Gould has previously said the state is at fault for not properly maintaining the fence.
Gould was summoned for animal trespassing charges in 2011 after some of his cows grazed along the highway.
