gkojaz: tedroden: Dalas, you probably already knew this but in case you didn’t, this breed of goat was once used by farmers, kept in the pastures with sheep and other small livestock. When wolves and coyotes would attack, the goat would be frightened and faint, so the predator would get the goat while the rest of the animals fled to safety…and this is where the term “scapegoat” originated. I know i’m a smarty pants, you don’t need to tell me. — sh1tbeast Actually, I did not know that. Thanks! — dalasverdugo You wouldn’t believe it, but I have about 15 or so of these guys at my house up in Maine. My Grandfather, being the jokster that he was, bought these goats to entertain his grandchildren. Which it did. I used to scare the shit out of these things ALL the time. This is one of mother nature’s cruel sick jokes. — badmalone This photo is so amazing.
