Katie, Connecticut Goat That Was Anti-Nuclear Symbol, Has Died

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut goat that made headlines in 2006 after visiting the state Capitol on a mission to inform officials about nuclear radiation has died.

Katie was diagnosed with inoperable cancer after living near Dominion Resources Inc.'s Millstone Nuclear Power station. Her death at her home in Redding on Sunday was announced in a news release.

Katie's mission took her from the state Capitol in 2006 to Washington, D.C., on March 11, 2012, where she strolled before the White House to mark the first anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear meltdown.

Her milk had tested positive for potent carcinogens that are associated with bone cancer and leukemia, and she became a familiar presence at anti-Millstone rallies.

She was a white nanny goat believed to be in her late teens.
