Goat probing deemed rude, obscene behaviour
Today being Mother’s Day, I thought it would be a nice day to take a ride down 17th Avenue S.W. on my motorbike. Having passed the Rocket T-Shirt Shop I noticed a scruffy male with his dog sitting in front of the store with a sign that read "I was anally probed by a goat" and then asking for money. To some that may seem funny and a laugh. To me, it is downright sick and offensive. Do mothers and their kids strolling down 17th Avenue need to see and read that? I later came back to check if my request to the police to have him removed was completed. He was gone and I calmly asked the staff at the Rocket why they had allowed him to sit with that sign in front of their store? They were very rude to me, saying I harassed the man in question. They then kicked me out of their store and laughed at me. I guess that particular store does not care about the degradation of our public streets. I do, though. This can no longer be acceptable and we all need to act to rid this city of this filth and rude, obscene behaviour. I for one have had enough and I say the city bylaws don’t go far enough.
