A pygmy goat is dividing one of Henrico's wealthiest neighborhoods

• Others have yard signs opposing his move to the neighborhood.
• Some pro-goaters have written the county in support, with one saying, "Whomever that silly person is in Sleepy Hollow crying about it is a weirdo."

The latest: The tension has led up to Thursday, when Henrico's zoning appeals board will decide whether Sesame can live in his owner's backyard, just off River Road and near Collegiate.

• The owner wants to keep Sesame as a support animal for his wife, per a permit application.
• But county staff are recommending the board deny the application due to the goats' proximity to neighbors and the potential noise and odor.

By the numbers: Nearly 170 people have emailed Henrico about Sesame as of earlier this month.

• Over 70% of them live in Sleepy Hollow, per the county.
• About 65% support having Sesame, including one direct neighbor.
• The rest, including the remaining immediate neighbors, are saying "no."
