A SEARCH PARTY was sent out into a mountainous district of Taiwan to ferret out a mysterious goat-killing beast.

The 23-man posse was mounted after a goat-farmer in the Linkou district of the island reported eight deaths amongst his 100-strong herd.

He said they looked to have eeen mauled to death by "some kind of feline", the Taiwan News reports.

A woman who witnessed the attack said the beast "looked like a tiger".

The beast-hunters are armed with blowpipes, tranquilizer guns and a big cage. They say they hope to catch the killer alive.

INQ readers in Taiwan said they nick-named the goat-killer Sony. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
