Stop racing goats for entertainment
The Issue
Sly Fox Brewery in Kimberton makes an annual tradition of abusing goats to promote its beer festival. Using the goats this way might sound like fun for the animal. Unfortunately nothing could be further from the truth. This use of goats is a form of exploitation and is inherently harmful to them. It removes them from their natural environments and exposes them to unsafe and frightening conditions. Some of the goats panic and experience falls. Overall it's a traumatic experience for them. Is it really necessary to abuse animals to make a campy joke?
