This is going to sound ridiculous...

ohhhhh i thought you said ghosts :x ghosts whould be fine but Goats? OMG YOU DONT LIKE CHEESE that sounds incredibly wrong :[

I have 4 sisters and two of them are TERRIFIED of cats. I know someone else whos terrified of balloons. Who knows where these fears come from. LOL

Everyone has a fear, fear is just a reaction created by your body to make you avoid 'dangerous' situations, your body perceives goats as dangerous. It's normal. And yes there exist fears for other animals, like chickens.

huh? It did sound ridiculous.

lmfao

I hate goat chese! I had it at a wedding once and i wanted to vomit. I like llamas and laugh evey time i see them so I think your fear of goats is okay.....

What on earth? Goats? I suppose that's something new, and it sounds a bit silly but perfectly believable; I always feel nervous around dogs. I don't cry. I just feel nervous like it's going to jump up and rip my nose off.

i know what you mean about the small cats, im not afraid of them but the same unpredictability thing goes for me with mice and frogs and stuff, as far as the goat thing goes, thats just a phobia, an irrational fear, you can sometimes fix stuff like that with therapy or hypnosis, or you could just live with it, but yeah its normal most people have an irrational fear of something

Oh, and also, more people worldwide drink goat's milk than cow's milk. More food for thought.

I actually grew up on a large ranch where there were many goats all over the place, probably about 20 at most any given time. Although I find it a bit odd that you consider yourself terrified of them, I'll also let you know that you're not missing much.

Goats are filthy, nasty creatures that will defecate anywhere and everywhere, and will eat damn near anything. I mean ANYTHING! I've even seen where one had eaten chunks off of a screwdriver handle! Of course there's the annoying sound they make too, but that's harmless except to one's patience.

Don't get me wrong, goats can even be trained to be house pets, but it's not terribly common, especially for civilized people. In their natural habitat; however, they can be mean and even violent. Male goats have horns for a reason you know, and they WILL use them if not trained better. I'm sure the ones at the zoo have been around humans for quite long enough to be generally tame.

I think your fear is somewhat similar to people's natural fear of snakes. Instinctually, you're not sure what to make of them because you've probably never seen them before. There's not much to really like about them, but you shouldn't be terrified of them.

As a matter of fact, some goats are naturally terrified of humans if you run at them. Some of them will be so scared that they will pass out immediately and fall to the ground!

BTW, deer are part of the goat family.
You like Bambi?

Help any?
