Firefighters in Idaho called for backup when a mountain goat refused to leave the backporch of a home it had previously attacked.
Apparently, the mountain goat charged the house on Thursday, tearing off the screen on the front door. It later charged the house again. Finally, it stood on the backporch and refused to budge.
While authorities stood around, perplexed as to how the situation should be handled, one enterprising firefighter picked up a stick and poked it. The goat left for the woods and has yet to be seen again.
No one was harmed and the goat suffered only minor cuts to its face.
