Crack Pipes and Goat meat, yeah baby I am smoked:

MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa. -- State police said a goat is the unlikely victim of drug trafficking in Fayette County. Police charged four Connellsville men Tuesday with stealing and killing a 4-year-old pygmy goat on Christmas Eve, so they could cut it up and trade its meat to a drug dealer -- in exchange for crack cocaine.

Police identified the suspects as Charles Smith, 48, and Charles Smith Jr., 20, James Walter Albright, 37, and Gilbert Wesley Fisch, 38. Police said Albright dragged the animal from its pen and tied it to a shrub, where he and the younger Smith killed the animal by beating its head with either a hammer or a steel pipe. Police said the men then took the goat to Smith's residence, where his father and Fisch skinned the animal and cut it up. It was not immediately clear if the men have attorneys. The Associated Press could not locate home telephone numbers for the men.

I like you find myself asking: How much rock is goat meat worth?
