Officials seize goats from home of environmental activist DAVE COLLINS , Associated Press FacebookTwitterEmail HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut authorities have seized dozens of goats from the home of a longtime environmental activist, in response to citizen complaints and surveillance that revealed animal welfare concerns, according to the state Department of Agriculture. State and local officials said they executed a search and seizure warrant Wednesday at the home of Nancy Burton, the founder of the Connecticut Coalition Against Millstone, a watchdog group that has been critical of the Millstone nuclear power complex in Waterford, Connecticut, for the past two decades. The department said it received a complaint in October about “injured goats and general care issues” on Burton’s property in Redding, Connecticut. Officials said the search and seizure warrant was approved after citizen complaints and surveillance “that revealed animal welfare concerns, including mobility issues due to untrimmed hooves, excessive manure, lack of sufficient water, and structures in poor condition that did not provide adequate protection from the weather.”
