He was accused of “roaming Dayton and picking fights with parked cars,” according to the social media post.

The Humane Society says the goat is about a year old.

It stated that Cardio kept bonking cars because he saw another goat staring at him. Unfortunately, that other goat was his reflection.

The Humane Society said that Cardio is looking for a new home.

“Cardio is ready to trade his life of alleged vandalism for a safe and loving farm life. No more run-ins with the law!” it said. “He’s looking for an appropriate goat home, potentially some animal friends, patient people willing to earn his trust, and, for everyone’s sake, a reasonable distance from parked cars.”
