CHICAGO / Mt Greenwood - Ag School trespassers target goats with onslaught of eggs

Vandals infiltrated an outdoor animal pen at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences in Mount Greenwood on two nights last week, chucking eggs at unsuspecting baby goats and leashing their mother with a nylon rope, principal William Hook said.

None of the goats suffered injuries in the yolky onslaughts, which occurred some time after 10 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday nights behind 3857 W. 111th St., Hook said.

He said he noticed a couple empty egg cartons, splattered eggs and broken shells behind to the chicken coop that abuts the goats' 3-foot-high pen on Thursday morning, but thought little of it.

Then late that evening, Hook received an automated call that the school's alarm had been tripped. Police responded and found that the door to the school's barn, which can be accessed from inside the pen, had been breached some time between 10:58 p.m. and 11:37 p.m., Officer Michelle Tannehill, a Chicago Police Department spokeswoman said.
