A simmering feud between the City of Richmond and a pair of neighbourhood goats is reaching the eleventh hour.
Owner Richard Simm reports that the city has been in contact with his landlords to discuss Freddie and George, the pygmy goat pets who are banned under animal control bylaws.
Meanwhile a groundswell of support has risen in the community from letters to News editor Eve Edmonds, supportive comments on social media as well as this sign at Art Knapps in City Centre.
The removal deadline is Aug. 18 but Simm is asking for an extension for city council to discuss the matter in September.
