  • Cute “Geep” Baby Awes And Bewilders

    Adorable baby Butterfly is not a goat and she’s not a sheep. She’s actually a “geep”, and her rare parentage has led to quite a bit of attention for the youngster.

    Butterfly, named so because of the pattern of spots on her body, has a pygmy goat for a dad and sheep for a mom (goat + sheep = “geep”).

    Born at My Petting Zoo in Scottsdale, Arizona, Butterfly arrived unexpectedly.

    According to Priscilla Motola, the owner of the petting zoo, no one even knew that the mother sheep was pregnant.

    “We don’t [have a male sheep] who could get her pregnant right now,” said Motola.

    Motola said they noticed the ewe getting larger, but with a lack of male sheep around, there was no reason to suspect that she was carrying a baby, let alone a geep.

    Motola owns a male goat name Michael, who was quickly identified as the father of the baby geep.

    As a geep, Butterfly possesses traits that she inherited from both her mother and father. Butterfly has the hooves and face of a goat, but she will have wool like her mother.

    How awesome is that?

    Butterfly is described by Motola as a “very active and friendly” youngster. The tiny geep is still nursing, and is also eager to nibble at the fingers of visitors (Aww!)

    Meanwhile, mama sheep is especially protective of her rare offspring. The fact that the father is a goat doesn’t seem to have diminished her maternal instincts in the slightest.

    Butterfly is the only known geep in the entire state of Arizona, and there are likely only a few other geeps walking around in the world right now.

    As with most cross-bred animals, intentionally or otherwise, Butterfly will likely be sterile when she grows up.

  • Kenya Court Sentences Goat Molester In The Presence Of Said Goat

    What’s worse than being sentenced to 10 years in prison? Some would say that a longer sentence would be the only thing that could possibly be worse, but one man found that it’s just as bad to be sentenced while the victim watches.

    Katana Kitsao Gona of Kenya was sentenced to 10 years behind bars after he pleaded guilty for having sex with his neighbor’s goat. What makes this particular case more interesting than the other bestiality cases that pop up in Kenya from time to time is that Gona was sentenced while the goat watched on from inside the courtroom.

    Now, it’s not uncommon for the victims to be present for the sentencing of their attackers, but this might be the first time that the animal on the receiving end of abuse has been present for the sentencing of its abuser. One can only imagine that the goat felt vindicated that the man behind its pricey therapy bills was finally put behind bars.

    Strangely enough, this isn’t the first incident of goat sex to be punished in Kenya this year. In June, an unnamed Kenyan man was arrested after he was caught having sex with his employer’s donkey behind a bush. In the case of Gona, a goat was once again tied behind a bush, and he was only caught after a random onlooker stumbled upon the scene when looking for a good bush to urinate in.

    Wrong place, wrong time for just about every party involved it seems.

    Here’s the official news report out of KTN Kenya:

  • ‘Erotic Zoos’ Are Apparently A Thing In Germany Now

    What kind of image does the term “erotic zoo” bring to mind? Chances are you’re probably not thinking about bestiality brothels, but that’s exactly what’s happening in Germany now thanks to a legal loophole.

    The Daily Mail reports that Germany has seen a rise in what people are calling “erotic zoos” or “animal brothels.” In essence, people can pay a “farmer” to have sex with their animals, which can range from llamas to goats.

    So, how is this legal? In Germany, the only bestiality laws on the books ban the creation and distribution of bestiality porn. The act of zoophilia itself is still legal under the law. There’s also apparently no law banning what Hans-Michael Goldmann, chairman of Germany’s agricultural committee, calls the “pimping [of] creatures to others for sexual use.”

    In short, there are now goat pimps in Germany selling said goats to paying customers to have their way with. The mere thought of it all is absolutely ridiculous, and I’m surprised that it’s even a thing.

    Oh, and if you were wondering, Germany is working on a law that would make all of this illegal. The country has been working on a bestiality law for some time now, but it has been met with stiff resistance from the German zoophile rights group ZETA. They say that it’s a lifestyle choice where most practitioners never abuse the animal, but rather live in a mutually beneficial and loving relationship.

    In short, ZETA says that “mere concepts of morality have no business being law.” I’m usually inclined to agree with those who are against legislating morality, but I think we have to draw the line at goat pimps.

  • Goat Snarls Traffic, Holds Up Commuters In New Jersey

    Goats aren’t typically known for holding up traffic, but one goat did just that this morning in New Jersey.

    The AP reports that a goat had escaped onto the Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey this morning. Five police officers were called to scene to help catch the goat, but they had no luck for nearly two hours. It appears the goat was rather nimble and kept jumping back and forth over the divider causing problems for both sides of traffic.

    Thankfully, nobody was hurt as a result of the goat running along the highway. There was, however, a small accident involving four cars as the drivers were attempting to avoid the animal.

    Where did the mischievous goat come from? The police aren’t sure, but its tag did say U.S. Department of Agriculture. They assume that it had somehow escaped from a truck heading to a slaughterhouse.

    Here’s some amateur footage of the police trying to catch the escaped goat:

  • Humans Yelling Like Goats Yelling Like Humans. Yeah.

    No, the internet couldn’t just leave it alone. Two minutes of goats yelling like humans wasn’t enough. Inserting a screaming goat into that one Taylor Swift song, and subsequently every other song under the sun also wasn’t enough.

    Now, we have humans yelling like goats yelling like humans.

    God, what is my life?

  • Ultimate Taylor Swift ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ Edition Is (Hopefully) the End of a Meme

    It’s a strange a wonderful thing watching a meme work its way across the internet. It twists and turns and morphs in unpredictable ways. Sometimes, it even loops back around on itself, only to shoot off in another direction.

    From what I can tell, here’s how we got to what you’re about to see:

    First, a two-minute compilations of goats screaming like humans went viral a couple of weeks ago. At some time after that, someone stuck a screaming goat into the Taylor Swift song “I Knew You Were Trouble.” That revitalized an older meme – the “goat edition.” After that, people began putting screaming goats into other songs. As of right now, thousands upon thousands of “goat editions” are searchable on YouTube.

    But in the last few days, the attention has turned back on Taylor Swift. People began to replace the screaming goat with other things – like a motion-activated paper towel dispenser or Nicolas Cage’s “not the bees” bit from The Wicker Man.

    Other popular inserts included a screaming bunny and the best cry ever, an old meme from the TV show Intervention.

    All of that leads us to what is hopefully the end of all of this. Watch it and you’ll see why.

    Who am I kidding? It’s the internet – this sh*t is probably just getting started.

  • ‘Goat Edition’ Mashups See a Revival, Could Possibly Supplant the Harlem Shake

    ‘Goat Edition’ Mashups See a Revival, Could Possibly Supplant the Harlem Shake

    Move over Harlem Shake, there’s a new YouTube fad brewing.

    It’s the “Goat Edition” mashup, and it’s taking the internet by storm.

    People have been making “Goat Editions” of popular songs and throwing them up on YouTube for a while. For instance, this goat-screaming mashup of Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “Niggas in Paris” first hit YouTube back in December of 2011. And you can go even further back in the archives to find the same goat singing alongside Usher back in 2009. But ever since the Taylor Swift “I Know You Were Trouble” Goat Edition blew up over the weekend, YouTube has started to fill up with various Goat Editions of popular songs.

    It seems the internet reignited their love for goats yelling like humans nearly two weeks ago when a two-minute long mashup of various screaming goats went viral.

    Thanks to the revived fascination, we have plenty of new Goat Editions to bring you. Here are some of the best:

  • Goat Man Spotted in Utah Mountains: Twitter Reacts

    Goat man — and, by this, I mean a man dressed from head to toe as a goat — was spotted by a hiker who was making his way through the Utah mountains. After stumbling upon a herd of goats, the adventurist decided to take a break and enjoy the scenery for a moment. However, when one of the goats seemed to split apart from the pack, photographer Coty Creighton became concerned for the little guy’s well-being. To make sure everything was okay, he grabbed a pair of binoculars and zoomed in close. What he discovered kind of creeped him out.

    Instead of staring at an actual goat, Creighton soon realized he was looking at a man dressed as a goat. In addition to sporting a full body costume, this peculiar gentleman was reportedly wearing a crudely-fashioned cloth mask complete with horns and eyeholes. Coty didn’t know what, precisely, to make this extremely bizarre encounter.

    “I thought, ‘What is this guy doing?’” Creighton explained. “He was actually on his hands and knees. He was climbing over rocks and bushes and pretty rough terrain on a steep hillside.”

    In order to properly navigate the terrain, Goat Man had to pull up his mask from time-to-time. It was around then that he appeared to spot Creighton, causing him to freeze in his tracks. Caught in the act, the man took off his mask and had a seat on the ground. After the photographer moved behind a tree to conceal his position, the man donned the mask once again, dropped to his hands and knees, and scrambled off in search of his herd.

    Phil Douglass of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources stated the man was doing nothing wrong, though he did wish to warn the guy about the inherent dangers of pretending to be a goat in the wilderness. Not only could he agitate the real goats, he might get a blast of buckshot in his backside for his troubles. Something to think about.

    “There’s a saying we have among biologists: You don’t go far enough, you don’t get the data. You go too far, you don’t go home. The same is true with some wildlife enthusiasts,” Douglass said. “I want people to enjoy Utah’s wildlife. We live in a really neat place. We have wildlife all around us. We just want people to be safe.”

    If the guy isn’t doing anything wrong, then let him run around as a goat. As long as he’s not harming anyone in the process, I really don’t see any reason for concern. Twitter users seem to agree, though they’re a bit more clever with their remarks and I. Have a look at some reactions below. By the way — Good job, Coty. All this guy wanted to do was play with his goats. Instead, you turned him into a laughing stock. Thumbs up, buddy.
