A Samakoshi Resident abducts a Goat

Stuti Basnyet, a resident of Samakoshi, was apparently shaken by the festival sacrifices that she decides to save the goat her family purchased by kidnapping the animal from Basnyet Niwas.

Basnyet was heading home from a get-together at one of her friend's. She saw the goat calmly masticating on some greens. Distraught, she unleashed the goat and tried to drag the goat away. However, the goat seemed to be too preoccupied eating the foliage, and irritated by change in its status quo. So Basnyet drugged it to sleep, and carried it outside her home, and paid someone to have it transported to the central zoo in Jawlakhel. The zoo had declined to give asylum to the goat, and no whereabouts of the goat can be found after that.

According to the statement given by miss Basnyet, she became attached to the goat since it wakes her up every day at five in the morning. She recalls a vivid childhood memory of seeing the severed head of a goat that she had befriended and named during a dasain festival.

The local authorities had contemplated on whether to term this heist a kidnapping, since although the subject was not a human being, the act was done against the will. However, Basnyet has gained much appreciation from the public by her act. She maintains a blog site, and she has recently written an article regarding this.
