Billy goat causes a stir: Police take over animal arrest!
A billy goat in Dinslaken caused a lively commotion last Corpus Christi Day, June 19, 2025. After calmly strolling through the city center, his unconventional visit to a gas station led to a police operation that will not soon be forgotten. How halloherne.de reports, the goat not only had an impressive appearance, but also had his own unique idea of what a simple visit to the gas station would be like.
The little runaway was initially spotted on Brinkstrasse, at the intersection with Kurt-Schumacher-Strasse. When the police were called, the billy goat had already left the gas station, where he made himself comfortable behind the sales counter, but had no intention of quenching his thirst or having a snack. The cashier confirmed that the goat was calmly roaming the sales floor, but categorically ruled out drinking tea and snacks, reports presseportal.de.
Unconventional use of the police
The police forces were finally able to take the billy goat into their care unharmed. He showed himself to be completely cooperative and allowed himself to be arrested without resistance, whereby he referred to Justin Bieber as to his identity: not to say anything! The buck, which was possibly looking for a new adventure, was then handed over to the veterinary office to clarify its origin.
An implanted chip quickly shed light on the darkness: According to the alleged owner from Oberhausen, the goat was sold to Herne some time ago. Ultimately, the former owner took the animal back into temporary care. The police in Dinslaken are also calling on all citizens to report information about the billy goat and its current whereabouts. Anyone who can contribute can reach the Dinslaken officials on 0281/ 107-1823 or by email at poststelle.wesel@polizei.nrw.de.
The background
The story of the billy goat not only amused us, but also reminded us how important it is to treat animals responsibly. In such incidents, it is advisable not only to inform the police, but also to involve local animal protection organizations. The German Animal Welfare Association recommends that all grievances be well documented if animal cruelty is observed. Evidence such as photos and details of the incident are crucial to effectively helping animals.
Let's hope that our goat returns to a safe home soon and that he can leave the exciting moments in the city behind him for a while.
