WAUPACA, Wis. – A man who was upset with his wife for not buying beer took vengeance by shooting one of the family’s two pet goats, prosecutors say.
Peter W. Mischler, 48, was charged this week in Circuit Court with mistreatment of animals, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and disorderly conduct with a dangerous weapon.
The complaint said Mischler came home Saturday from hunting and became angry with his 22-year-old daughter for letting the goats out and making a mess. While she was talking on the phone to her mother, authorities said, he told her to tell his wife to bring home some beer, but his wife refused.
He then threatened to shoot the goats, according to the complaint.
After his wife arrived home, she and the daughter heard four gunshots and went outside and found one of the two goats with its entrails hanging out, authorities said. They said that goat had to be killed later by a sheriff’s deputy.
Mischler posted a $1,000 cash bond set by Circuit Judge Raymond Huber and was released.
Baaaaa… So, in honor of crazy Wisconsin brat lovin’ beer guzzlin’ rednecks, I bring you the Wisconsin beer cannon.

I have to admit that I lived in Waupaca, WI for almost 20 years. The favorite avocations of the German natives of Wisconsin (in no particular order) are: Drinking Beer, Drinking Brandy, Hunting, Deer Hunting, Ice Fishing, and Packer Football.
Alcohol consumption is tied directly to all other activities, so we can say that Cheeseheads drink alcohol and kill things (including Bears).
BTW, Mr. Mischler is a resident of rural Waupaca County near New London, WI …home of Hillshire Farms sausage.
