Wasn't that the name of a Marvel Comic?
kutv.com - Seattle To Allow Pygmy Goats As Pets: "(AP) SEATTLE
They have hoofs instead of paws and aren't known for fetching sticks or chasing mice, but pygmy goats are now legally pets in Seattle.
The City Council voted unanimously to reclassify the goats _ also known dwarf or miniature goats _ as small animals rather than farm animals after testimony touting the virtues of the dog-sized critters as companions, weed eaters and milk producers. '
One small step for man, one giant step for goatkind,' council member Richard Conlin, who sponsored the measure, said after Monday's vote.
The little goats -- up to 2 feet tall and weighing 50 to 100 pounds -- must have pet licenses, just like cats, dogs and potbelly pigs. However, these pets must be dehorned and males must be neutered to reduce musky odors.
They're not allowed outside the owner's yard -- but other people can borrow them for grazing.
The measure was suggested to Conlin by Jennie Grant, president of the Goat Justice League, which she says has 100 members."

I want a Goat Justice League t shirt. With the League members rendered artistically upon it. I smell big profits. And I smell goats too of course.
You may be onto a million-dollar idea with that t-shirt.
Is there a comic book? Does the GJL thwart goat atrocities? For instance are they the arch enemies of Satanists? Goats get a pretty rough deal from THOSE guys.
The comic book is another good idea.
And I see crossover potential: the Goat Justice League vs the Humane Society. Vs the World Wildlife Fund. vs the Sierra club. Or would all these groups work in tandem against others. My head is spinning.
I see more! Alien & Predator vs The Goat Justice League!! I'm there!!
They won't let me have a race horse in my back yard and chickens or pheasants would upset the neighbors, but I could easily have a pygmy goat. I wonder if they come in various pygmy species. I've always love those Nubians with their long ears hanging down.
