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.
