[quote=LAUGH,397032]"Fainting goats?" you ask. "This must be a joke!" but it is real the goats faint in the presence of skeery humans. Shepherds often kept the goats in with their flocks as insurance in case of predator attacks. The theory went something like this- as wolves would come down from the hills to attack a flock of sheep, the goats would become startled and, as per the name of their breed, they would faint. The sheep would make a clean getaway, as the wolves would focus on the stunned goats rather than pursue the fleeing sheep. This is what I found from http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jimknapp/goats.html Does anyone who had raised one?[/quote]
