Sheep and goats can be very destructive animals, and <br /> goats in particular are very difficult to keep fenced in. <br /> Allowing people to keep one sheep or goat as a pet will invite <br /> damage to other people's property from the animals of neighbors, <br /> just as my property is now being damaged by the goats that my <br /> neighbors improperly have on their land now. I believe that if <br /> the county decides to allow one sheep or goat as a pet in agri- <br /> cultural districts, then the county should be responsible for any <br /> damages that are caused by these animals. I believe that if <br /> people want these animals as pets, they should be required to <br /> have at least a full acre of pasture land, with a good fence and <br /> good shelter. Why should other neighbors and farmers put up with <br /> damage to their land and crops. <br /> I am sure that you would not like to come home and find <br /> a goat feeding or trampling your garden. <br /> In addition, allowing one sheep or goat as a pet in agri- <br /> cultural districts will invite further abuse and violation of the <br /> zoning laws. You are likely to find, instead of one sheep or <br /> goat, two, three or more at one location. Goats and sheep are <br /> nuisance animals and we ask that you leave the present zoning <br /> ordinance as it is. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> yt . <br /> Harold and Harriet Zickert <br /> 373 Clarkson Road <br /> Waterloo, Wi. 53594 <br />
