"Do goats care if the other end of the leafy branch they are hauling off is on fire?"

If so, the answer is "no."

I don't think goats care if the other end of the leafy branch they are hauling off is X, for any X, as long as they can haul the branch in the first place.

Or to shorten that more: "Do goats care? No."

Maybe they expected a marshmallow on the other end.

Your rule sounds very convenient, especially when co-hosting a bonfire with a goat, but I have to wonder whether it is an over-generalization. Do you think maybe some goats care and some goats don't and you have to treat them as individuals?

What was the f/t ratio of your goat sample?

Was it a white goat, or a GoC?

Please join me in a heartfelt call for greater diversity among goats participating in bonfires.

Three billy goats, no nanny goats. And Oreo is both black and white.

They certainly do care that the other end of the branch is on fire; that makes it much more likely that the human they are tormenting will leap about and expostulate in interesting ways.

Did any of the people who were not dealing with the sudden goat-involved fire situation get video?

No, because they were busy keeping the goat from burning the farm down.
