Man Gets a Goat in Divorce Settlement

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - An Australian man was awarded his ex-wife's pet goat as part of a divorce settlement, according to The Daily Telegraph .

Steve Killeen can be seen taking his goat and his friend's pet goat for daily walks through the streets of Sydney ( see video of Killeen walking the goats ).

Killeen said the couple got the goat on the Internet about a year ago when his then wife was searching for a hairless cat.

"She saw pictures of baby goats and that was it," Killeen said. "We checked with council, and four weeks later we got a goat."

Killeen's wife took the family dog with her after the divorce, but Killeen has found a new best friend.

"On Sundays we religiously walk to Hyde Park," he said. "There's a tree that they like, they just go nuts."

Last year, a Sudanese man was forced to take a goat as his "wife" by a council of elders after he was caught having sex with the animal.

Goats were also at the center of a Saudi man's celebration of divorcing his wife in 2005. The man reportedly slaughtered several goats at a party to celebrate his freedom from a very violent wife who had made his life miserable for three years. He had vowed to hold a large party if he ever managed to separate from his wife.
