Artistic goats raise $200,000 for charity

We haven’t seen the last of Rob Canton’s goat herd.

On Feb. 6, Canton’s A+C Foundation held a public art auction to raise money for charities that fight, and raise awareness of, human trafficking.

The fundraiser, in fact, bore the name Project Goat (Global Offensive Against Trafficking).
