Bold assumption there. As they say, "if it doesn't hold water it won't hold a goat."
- vrc 4y agoMy town stopped its annual “goats clear the park” setup because one goat would consistently escape and wreak havoc on traffic. Pretty solid enclosure, too
- Floegipoky 4y agoSounds like they should replace it with "goats clear the park and BBQ"
- Victerius 4y agoThe same goat each time?
- tlavoie 4y agoAn electric fence goes a long way, and can be portable. Works great as long as you remember to close the gate. cough
- bsza 4y agoAnd if it does hold water, they’ll climb it anyway. https://youtu.be/RG9TMn1FJzc https://youtu.be/RG9TMn1FJzc
- throwaway0a5e 4y agoAs long as extracting whatever food there is is less effort than circumventing the fence the goat will remain...
- mikk14 4y agoI think modeling a goat as a rational agent is also pretty bold :-)
- tlavoie 4y agoYou'd think so... but yeah, they have their own sort of smarts. Mine are very adept at reaching or finding tasty plants. One was less bright about plants on the other side of a fence that her horns fit through, one way. I had to rescue her about eight times, until the horns were long enough to not go through the fence wire.
- yitchelle 4y agoI guess if we left the goat long enough, it will eat thorough the fence. Then the neighbours garden will also be barren.
- Victerius 4y agoI sense a mathematical question.
