Shutdown shenanigans

More than two dozen Nubian goats were shuttled from the national recreation area in Sandy Hook, NJ, where they’d been performing a public service: eating the poison ivy away from old Fort Hancock.
The goats’ owner, who had initially brought them to New Jersey from Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, took the critters back to upstate Rhinebeck, where they live when they’re not working for the government.

In August 2008 some of the goats caused quite a stir by sneaking into a restricted area under the Verrazano Bridge.
