Favre Goat Found in Woman's Trunk at Repair Shop (www.myfox9.com)

MYFOX9, Twin Cities - Brett Favre may have gotten your goat by joining the Minnesota Vikings, but one woman took the phrase quite literally. She may face animal cruelty charges after a purple and gold-painted goat with a number four shaved in its side was found in the trunk of her car at a Winona Tires Plus.

On her way to St. Paul, the woman brought her Chevy Malibu to the shop to have a belt replaced. Tires Plus employee James Prusci was completing paperwork when she told him she had a goat in the trunk. She told him she planned to butcher it.

Prusci called animal control, which took the goat to a veterinary hospital. The goat was renamed Brett and placed in foster care.
