A tale of goat abuse from down under:

Tracey Arnold, 26, was drinking with friends at a “Friday the 13th” party in 2006 when she decided to steal the goat, named Maddie, from the garden of a house in the northern city of Brisbane.

The partygoers then broke into a church, dragging the goat on to a raised platform and killed it in a Satanic-style ritual.

The goat’s head was later found by police in the freezer of Arnold’s home, along with a camera containing photos of members of the group with the head.

Arnold’s lawyer told the Brisbane Magistrates Court yesterday that his client did not have a “macabre disposition” but that when she drank alcohol, she made poor decisions.
