"I want goats because I want my children to have safe, educational, green pets,"


How is a goat or a chicken a green pet? Is she just getting her smug on or something?

Heh, my high school in Memphis a large (I think 94 acre) campus in the middle of east Memphis. One year the seniors decided to release a bunch of goats on campus. It took the school over 2 years to finally catch the last goat.

Does Fark really want to sell this headline as a t-shirt. I mean, I know we're all self-hating, but to show the world the idiocy of Fark just seems to be too much.

The only way a goat is green, is if they are using it as a lawnmower as well as a pet.

I wonder if by green pets they mean you can get eggs from chickens and milk from goats?

Well, it's because it's relatively harmless (aside from the occasional head-butt) and, when you get tired of it, you can throw it to the grill! Thus saving money and the environment... Somehow.

The website where we make fun of spelling and grammar mistakes in articles, that has spelling and grammar mistakes in its headlines and posts!

Subby is a idiot who submits headlines like a ass. I, on the other hand, am a egghead because I can make a obvious joke over and over.

My school-bus driver in Atlanta was constantly in court over his in-town goat farm. He was also in a perpetual gubernatorial campaign. His signs were all over the city.

Perhaps this variety of goat is different from the ones I've experienced. The ones I've seen will bite, and can cause some damage from a head-butt.

A greater risk to the rest of the public than a dog? Probably not. But I wouldn't categorize them as totally harmless.

This is probably the first time I've heard the phrase 'green pet' but it does make sense.

With cats and dogs, you have this huge pet food industry shipping stuff all over the country, toy factories and the bulk of the veterinarian population. Fancy fish get flown in from all over the world and you probably have a constant electrical consumption with pumps and lights.

With a goat, you've got ... well.. a goat. A relatively quiet lawn mower. And maybe something to eat. And something to rope if you're bored.

urban goats... i can't decide whether to go for the easy hip-hop joke or go more subtle and do something a little papal.

"I want goats because I want my children to have safe, educational, green pets," she said. "We have (four) chickens for the same reason. They are excellent pets."

Goats and chickens= Green, educational, progressive

Dogs and cats= Imperialist American conformist corporate lemming

I'll keep the dogs and cats in my house and yard, and keep the chicken and goat in my fridge and freezer. Mmmm curried goat.

There is a huge problem with people getting goats as pets. Apparently they get them because they are fun on a trampoline, but then the rest of the neighborhood hates them for it.

I've wanted to get a goat for a while, but I'm afraid of running into the same problem as this kid (no pun intended.) They eat garbage, trim your yard, and it would be a great playmate for my herding dog.

But I'm afraid the critter would escape and run all over town. This place has seen weirder things, but I'd hate to have to get my goat out of the pound.

As a neighbor, I'd be more pissed about the chickens than the goat. Chickens are loud and obnoxious.

That said, as a condition of having a goat, the owner should be required to have a fence in place. That fence, in turn, should be a chain link or solid wood type that the goat cannot get its head through. I'd be equally pissed if all of my plants next to the property line were stripped bare.

RTFA, the woman owns two miniature goats. For milk production, grass-eating and pet type interactions.

I fail to see how a miniature goat is more of a nuisance than a barky dog or the free-range cats that poop in kids' sandboxes.

You do have to clean up after a goat. My mother owned a goat for a while. Seems like an easy automatic lawnmower, but then you have to clean goat poo instead of cut grass. A trade off, really.
