BRASILIA, Brazil
(Reuter) -- Police
Sunday were investigating the suspicious death
of a goat running for mayor in a northeastern
Brazilian town, newspapers
reported. Frederico
the goat had been leading in opinion surveys in
Pilar, 24 miles from the city of Maceio, since
his owner Petrucio
Maia
launched the animal
on the campaign trail as a protest candidate in
October's municipal elections. Maia told the
Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper
he thought his
goat had been poisoned by a political rival. "He
had
a lot of foam in his mouth," he said. Last
weekend inhabitants of Pilar
drove in a convoy
of 50 vehicles through town in support of
Frederico's
candidacy. Newspapers said the
election bandwagon was shot at.
