Re Sherri’s post about rough handling of the goats.
When animals are not kept as pets and are not use to handling and restraint by humans, they will react by lunging and fighting the restraint. They are a prey animal and instinct says fight restraint if they can not flee. So what looks like rough handling may not be. I am NOT saying it is NOT, just saying do not assume. You could offer to help and find out more on what is going on if the person handling the goats will let you.
