Goat trauma: America's hidden tragedy

"It was early Spring. The snow had just melted. Brandon D. went out to play. While in his own backyard, he was attacked by a bloodthirsty roaming goat...

Not even celebrities are safe. Po was riding her scooter when this goat came over the hill towards her. She tried to get away but the goat soon overpowered poor Po."

  Have you ever even seen their eyes?

  I see that goat trauma as I tried to describe it has been covered. But words can’t convey the stupid cunning of a goat. Just watch your back.. they’ll butt you so hard you fall over. Why? because they are goats. But their milk and feta cheese, goat cheese, are soooo good to taste.

  I was about 4 and I was at a park somewhere. There was a barn with a fenced yard. I went under the fence and into the barn where there were hay bales stacked against the walls. On top of the hay bales were probably 20+ goats that started coming towards me down off the hay bales as they saw me enter the barn. I remember feeling the bad vibes and began to run for the fence across the barnyard. About half way across they caught me and I remember being picked up and thrown by a goat’s horns. I punched a goat in the face. I was finally able to crawl out under the fence and and find my Mom to whom I had to explain the condition of my clothes, “The goats attacked me Mom!”.

  I thought this was ringing a bell: http://www.boingboing.net/2007/07/31/short_links.html

  It was just a quick link, but I remembered it two years later because I hate goats so much.

  they’re not kidding (but the goats are, which is why this continues to be a problem).

  They need to create a llama trauma foundation. Those things’ll not only kick you, but BARF on you as well.
