Immigrants' backyard butchery of goats riles neighbors

SANFORD, N.C. – As the suburbanites of Sanford, N.C. have heard with their

own ears, goats definitely do not go quietly into that good night.

The throngs of Mexicans who recently moved to the town have taken barbecue

to another level: some Mexicans like to start a fiesta by slaughtering a

goat to be roasted. In a tradition they believe brings good luck, they nail

the head up in a tree for all to see.
