I've written before (here and here) on how noble is the humble goat (also check out webcomic Goats, which I've been reading for a while and whose excellence was recently recognized in PC Magazine).
In another memailed article, the NYT is reporting that, in addition to
- tasting delicious
- substiting for the human sacrifice of Isaac
- protecting tenants from Plagues in Egypt (with their, um, blood on the lintel)
- carrying off people's sins (scapegoats)
- weaning farmers off tobacco production
- easing the transition of Somali refugees
- removing weeds in place of pesticides
- preventing forest fires by grazing on brush
- fighting trolls
- giving us goat cheese, and
- making fancy sweaters
...goats also help free the South from the invasive kudzu vine .
Time to step up, other forms of livestock!
