You’re kidding

You know what goats like? They like grass. They like tin cans. They like going behind the shed and taking a shit in peace. They don’t like having leopard outfits strapped to their sagging haunches like Kim Cattrall.

If you absolutely have to put clothes on your goat, at least be humane enough to eat the fucking thing afterward so it doesn’t have to live with the memory.

Now, I used to have a pet lamb I raised from a baby – I can say goats are similar – and if it was very tame, a goat WOULD appreciate a jacket. There are professionally made goat/sheep jackets of canvas to keep them dry and warm, especially if they’re a show animal. I think the idea of making a flannel goat coat is actually pretty cute, and some goats would love it.

But this fabric is….not flattering to any goat. If it was Star Wars bedsheets, I’d buy it and wait until I have a pet goat to wear it.

I am in awe that there are two standing defences for this goat coat.
It looks like that goat is giving the camera person a death glare. When my cat put his ears like that it meant “die human, die”.

Guess you don’t know much about goats, especially the small ones. They need to be kept warm in the winter and protected from the elements, so I’m sure they would appreciate a coat. The goat doesn’t look like she’s giving the camera person a death glare, either. It looks like a happy little thing. That’s also how goats hold their ears.

I agree with Crossed Promise, this is definitely the ‘eventually, I will kill you’ look my cat gives. Also amazed people are defending the goat coat. Goats are livestock. And while they might get chilly in the winter and need a blankie, that is function of stupid humans raising goats where they aren’t evolutionalarily equipped to live. From a functionality perspective it is ridiculous to put them in this fleece fringed faux feline. The fleece is going to pick up every burr and stray bit of grass, and for the love of god, the thing is a farm animal, not a human. Go to your feed store, get a livestock blanket, and send your goat out to the field with all the other working animals.

This is what I know about goats: When you put 25 cents into the dispenser it gives you pellets and those bug eyes little monsters know that sound like it’s a life line. I’m glad the Purell dispenser is free. O and Goat cheese is great. Also, having been around working farms before I know that there are functional livestock blankets that Hannah Montana didn’t make. My horse has one. If goat’s have dignity I wouldn’t want to be the one to take it away, especially considering Osmodia. I mean, if that’s how goats look all the time? I’m glad I don’t have goats.

Not all goats are considered livestock or farm/working animals. Pygmy goats, which the one in the photo is, are typically bred to be pets. They are not food goats, there wouldn’t be enough meat on a pygmy for one person to eat. Most places that are not zoned agricultural and do not allow regular goats allow pygmy goats. Some people even house train them. If you read the actual listing, the person says that their goat is an indoor goat. You can actually buy clothing, like they make for dogs and cats, for pygmy goats, at most farm stores. The also sell it for mini horses, ducks, & chickens. I’d never put my pygmy in something like this, but I do have a coat for her, only it’s a fur lined canvas one. She needs it in the winter, when the weather is bad.
It is a typical goat look, no different than this one, which isn’t wearing a coat:

Look up pictures of pygmy goats, they’ll all pretty much have the exact same look on their face.

My only response is good clean laughter.
Helen Killer, you have made the internet fun again.
Unless you seriously love goats. Then this is offensive. Shame on you. Goats need warmth too. I mean really, where do you get off making fun of this? It’s not like goats survived for hundreds of years without…o wait

People who treat animals like human babies make me laugh. We have to take care of animals in the most repectable way possible, but antropomorphism is just a way to express maternal instinct that hasn’t been fulfilled.
Aren’t pygmy goats a genetic manipulation made by humans, like the dwarf horse? When did we looked at a human dwarf and said”AWWW, he’s so cute.” It’s a malforamation and it’s not funny at all.
A last thing, it’s a damn funniest website, the autors are having fun and they are fucking funny. Let’s relax and don’t take all that for real.

No, what’s even sadder is that there is now only one in stock.

I am somebody who has actually raised goats. If you put this on a goat you would be up all night trying to keep it alive after it ate the coat and got gastric distress. I’m not kidding.
