This week in goat news

This story also taught me that NPR has an entire section called "Goats and Soda", which covers "stories of life in a changing world".
I blame @mfladd for this recent upsurge in goat news.

One thing about goats that I don't understand is how come we're not up to our asses in goats? They reproduce like crazy, almost always having twins. Or maybe we are up to our asses in goats and that's why they are currently a hot thing.
@Teripie We've got goats coming out of everywhere! Perhaps goats are this year's fox. I think they're adorable assholes.
@Teripie Goat Curry.

C'mon goat, just a little bit closer.
@Teripie Goat is often said to be "the most widely eaten meat in the world". Your definition of "widely" may vary.
@Teripie Cabrito is popular here in the Southwest and Mexico. Traditionally it was an easy to raise protein source. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabrito
@Teripie I listened to a podcast a while back that talked about how they have to constantly cull the goat population on the Galapagos islands because they're an invasive species and eat all of the plants.
That's where I learned about how they used a Judas goat: The Judas goat is usually sterilized, outfitted with a transmitter, painted in red and then released. The goat then finds the remaining herds of feral goats, allowing hunters to exterminate them.

I found a good way to deal with misbehaving goats
Here's a story of a person who's actually trying to live as a goat, and experience what they do.
Do they ferment the goat before squeezing out the wine?
@beachbum I'd be more concerned it was step one feed goat lots of grapes, step two goat does his/her stuff, step three collect and bottle result......
@Nikodemus Ah, like civet coffee?? Hopefully the wine is cheaper (and tastes better).
@JonT They need to do a water world tie in and Kevin Costner celebrity endorsement and it will fly off the shelves.
