Animal Humane Society <br />A Voice For Those Who Cannot Speak <br />January 25, 1995 <br />The City of Orono <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />Orono, MN <br />Gentlemen: <br />It has been brought to my attention that the City of Orono is involved in a discussion with one of <br />its citizens concerning a pet goat by the name of Billy Jean. The p«t pigmy goat owned by Cal <br />Korth has been considered a domestic pet by its owmer for many years. It is my understanding <br />that the animal at times actually lives in the house as a domestic dog or cat does and is a very <br />important member of the household. Billy Jean has been a participant with Cal at our annual <br />Walk for Animals for several years, walking with the hundreds of dogs, cats, and other ammals. <br />I hope you will consider looking beyond what may be considered the legal definition of a pigmy <br />goat as livestock and consider the human animal bond that exists between the owner and the pet <br />pigmy goat named “Billy Jean ”. <br />Sincerely, <br />Alan T. Stensrud <br />Executive Director <br />ATS;jae <br />845 Meadow Lane North. MJnneapoUs. MN 55422 (612) 522-4325 <br />A Non-Profit Corporation Dedicated To The Welfare Of Animals <br />(3)
