Connecticut State Troopers encountered some "baaaaad" animals on Friday afternoon when a small herd of goats began walking onto I-395 near Waterford.

The Connecticut State Police posted on Facebook that the animals were seen by officers walking onto the road at around 4 p.m., and were shepherded off of the interstate and back to their home.

"Trooper Miller utilized his discretion and the accused pictured Goats were issued a verbal warning under Connecticut General Statute: 53-182 Reckless Use of Highway," the Connecticut State Police said.
