That made me think it was more. And anyway, as much as the fox does with chickens, the goat knows it will set about to kill and eat plants. There's no real reason to call the fox knowingly malicious and the goat not.

- hutzlibu 4y agoHa, you have not worked with goats before, have you? Even some sheep like to sneak up and attack from behind. Goats even more so.. But sure most goats lack that bravery, but some have it and the cunning to attack and get to places they are not supposed to be.

- chongli 4y agoGoats are anything but placid. They’re tricksters and bullies. They won’t hesitate to charge you from behind and knock you down. They will also happily chew on people’s clothing and long hair. Goats are jerks! They’re also just really funny and lovable.
