life's little lessons
i'm not sure if the petting zoos are back on at the fair this year, but here's are a few stats from our friends over at the childhood goat trauma foundation (and knowing is half the battle):
- Each year, over 6000 people are traumatized by goats in the United States alone.
- If a child is traumatized by a goat before age five, he/she is five times more likely to become some form of social deviant.
- When given a choice four out five goats will attack a child before attacking either another goat or an adult.
- The majority of goat traumas occur before age eight and after age fifty-two.
- In a scientific experiment, seven out of ten goats prefer man-made fibers over natural fibers.

For me I was traumatized by the chickens in the petting zoo at Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, NE. I had on thongs, (yes, that's what we referred to the sandals as) & a chicken came up & pecked me on the toe and wouldn't stop. It was like my little 4-5 year old toes looked like feed/corn to them. I have no problem eating fried chicken to this day...
