    Minn. goat chooses freedom over Nativity role

    FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (AP) — A goat that apparently didn't want to be part of a Minnesota Nativity scene has headed for greener pastures.

    The 3-year-old Angora goat was supposed to have a supporting role at Bethlehem Church in Fergus Falls. Instead it escaped its leash Saturday afternoon, and remained on the lam Monday.

    The goat's owner is Jim Aakre of rural Underwood. He says he tried to chase it for about two hours, but the lack of snow made tracking difficult.

    The wayward goat has been spotted several times since it escaped, but police haven't been able to collar it.

    A Fergus Falls Journal report (http://bit.ly/uDCXz1 ) says Aakre and his wife also provided a llama and two puppies for the service.

      The goat was obviously not pleased with the contract! It's probably looking for a new agent so that it can get a lead roll somewhere. I mean, who wants to play second fiddle to a llama and two puppies?!

      I don't blame the goat one bit! If I were stuck in Minnesota or being held captive there, I'd escape too and get the hell out of that state! Baby, I'd head SOUTH where it's warm!

      Let the goat run! They can survive on just about anything.

      Even a 3-year-old Angora goat is smart enough to know religion is just superstition and mythology.

        What happens if you find out you were wrong in the end? Is it worth eternity?

        Oh Ginny, just face your own mortality like a full human being. When you die, you are gone -- just like every other living thing. Be good to all living things. You have one life, that's all there is. Compassion is the key.

        Ginny, if you are only believing 'just in case' then you really don't believe. I don't believe and I am pretty sure if God existed he would respect my lack of belief more than your 'just in case' belief.
