A goat that has been wandering around the eastern Missouri town of Mexico has gained enough attention to have his own Facebook page. But animal control officers are not amused. KXEO reported that the goat was first seen by a motorist on Saturday near an underpass on the east side of town.

Mexico animal control officer Joe Horton said the department has received more than a dozen reports of the adult goat being seen around town, including in downtown Mexico.

Horton said animal control officers are earnestly trying to catch the goat, which he's named Billy Goat Gruff.

Mexico residents are having a bit more fun with it. Someone started a Facebook fan page for the Mexico Goat, which had more than 3,000 fans on Sunday.
