My only peeve is people seem to have different opinion depending on the type of animal. So when some kid feeds his pirahna (sp?) feeder fish, and the pirahna ends up eating half of it, and the feeder fish is still alive and kind of half swimming with only the rest of its front body intact, while its guts are spewing out, do you not think that fish is suffering? Oh but that's acceptable, because compared to a goat, what's a measely little feeder fish right? I mean, there's a ton of those you can buy at the fish store.
Like I said, the fluffy factor is higher with the goat. People look at it and go "aw, how cute! How can they do this to such a cute animal?! I'm outraged!" They dont' look at fish and say that, so I guess it must be ok.
Me, I personally think there are a lot more things in the world to be outraged about than this. The goat's in the lower part of the food chain, I guess that's just the way it goes.
