Vegetarians do not eat goats. That is correct. But just because we don't eat the flesh of beasts doesn't mean we don't have a beastly good sense of humor! Let the chicken (and goat, pig, and cow) jokes commence! Just take it easy on the deer, will ya? And rabbits, dogs, and horses (except for 'long face' jokes -- they slay me). You can go crazy on cats if you want. Fish? Meh.
