That goad would have gotten stabbed if it came at me LOL Doubt my little pocketknife would hurt the dam thing though.
:grin: LOL @ humans vs. GOAT score. GOAT 4 - 1 Humans (that one kick was a one-pointer) Also, G.O.A.T. has to get in here and explain this phenomenon but he hasn't posted since March.
If that goat had a collar the most common sense thing would have been to control it's neck. It took 5 humans to finally come to a human with some common sense on how to handle the situation.
I think people were just scared lol. Not to mention that one guy was hopped up on testosterone and probably wanted to fight.
Regrettably, I once created an army of dangerous goats just like this one. It just takes too much of the wrong kind of playing around with them when they are little, when it's still cute & fun instead of painful & terrifying. Because once they get big, they still want to play like that, especially since their natural instincts are conducive to it anyway, I think. But eventually, when you realize that on a daily basis you're having to psych yourself up & approach crossing a field of them to get somewhere as if it were an athletic event, you realize you've made a huge mistake.
