Russian Park Adopts Goat Named 'Obama'

MRCTV Contributor | May 16, 2016

A Russian safari attraction has adopted a goat named "Obama," calling the newest addition a "rare, exotic animal."

“Goat” is a Russian insult used for stubborn and headstrong people.

The Primorsky Safari Park obtained the already-named animal from a farmer in Sochi.

Officials first tried to take the creature to one of Vladimir Putin's residences but were told he "holds no meetings with goats," according to a statement from the park director.

The park is not new to controversy. It has dabbled in gimmicks in the past, including earlier this year when it added a female goat named after German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
