Benny The Goat

Benny The Goat Sheri Sala has kept Benny the goat since bottle-feeding him as a three-week old kid. Benny is a pet, plain and simple. (3) Contact Hellyn R.

Benny is a Nigerian dwarf goat, neutered, de-horned and vaccinated, and lives beside his best animal friend, a Pomeranian. But officials in Berlin, Connecticut are taking a hard line on zoning laws that require three acres of land in order to keep a goat (Sheri has a quarter of an acre). The zoning laws also apply to rabbits, chickens, and other animals commonly kept, so there's no telling where t

own officials will stop. At this point, Sheri has filed a request for a variance to keep Benny, but she can use your help leading up to the hearing on APRIL 26:

The tragic seizure and killing of Peanut the squirrel in New York has sparked global outrage, drawing widespread criticism from animal lovers worldwide. Peanut, a beloved squirrel, was rescued seven years ago after being found orphaned and injured as a baby, and nursed back to health. A raccoon named Fred, who was recently rescued, was sadly also seized and euthanized. 💔🐿️🦝

When Peanut and Fred were taken, DEC officials cited regulations prohibiting wild animal ownership and concerns about rabies. Despite Peanut being harmless, current laws allow authorities to seize and euthanize wild animals deemed a public health risk, often without notice or an appeal process for the owners.

According to the DC Department of Health, “No person in the U.S. has ever contracted rabies from a squirrel. Regardless of a squirrel’s behavior, if bitten, a tetanus vaccine is recommended if it has been more than five years since the last vaccination.”

In response to the outcry, Assemblyman Jake Blumencranz introduced “Peanut’s Law: The Humane Animal Protection Act,” aiming to reform animal seizure and euthanasia. The law would require notice and an appeal process before euthanizing animals taken from sanctuaries or homes, ensuring fairer and more compassionate treatment. 🙏🐿️
