Resident of the area reporting that the pun was deployed successfully in local media.

“Kids these days” came to mind too.

The article makes the joke in a caption

Thank goodness. How could a journalist not make that joke with this story?

How is that even a pun that's supposed to work? 'lamb' sounds nothing like 'run'.

(also young goats are called kids, but that's a bit too much hairsplitting even for me)

Being "On the lam" means being on the run from the law

thanks for the spelling correction, updated

It's a pun on the phrase `on the lam` which means running away (from the law)
