I Support The Blowing Up of Goats
I have always supported the blowing up of goats. So imagine my happiness when I found out the military bought up to 3000 goats that they would blow up or shoot so doctors could practice for treating wounded troops in war time situations.
But now the military has stopped the practice because some people are upset about the blowing up of goats. Here is the link: LinkDo you support the practice of blowing up goats so military doctors can practice for war?

Might be better suited for veterinarians.
For $200 a visitor to Cambodia can, with military supervision, blow up a cow with a bazooka. Any takers?
@TrainTrack - No money in it.
That’s awful. They can learn another way.
I support the diligent practice of ones craft in the way that best suites human kind. If that means blowing up goats, then yes, I support it.
It seems necessary. Unless of course, those animal rights folks want to volunteer in the place of the goats?
… sooo, they’re creating violence, pain, and injuries to… help people from violence, pain, and injuries? SEEMS LEGIT.
“What’s a matter kid? You never had lambchops?” “I happen to be a vegetarian.”
one of the best movies I saw while in college was “The Men Who Stare at Goats” (goes to show I don’t see many movies…)
They could just not go to war. It’d be easier.
I support letting the goats go free, and maybe having fewer idiots in positions of power.
If they are not Muslim then yes.
I support eating goats…quite tasty.
I’d rather see them blow up chickens.
No, I do not support shooting, stabbing, blowing up of goats.
I also don’t support torture.
Anybody that supports the above — I do support mental health screening.
I was never a big Stevie Nicks fan.
Sounds terrible.
We don’t seem to mind blowing up people.
This might be the best blog title ever though.
They used to use pigs.
If we’re going to blow up goats then I think we should be doing it for a much better reason than training for war.
I’m thinking any reason other than “FUN!” and “He ate my couch!” is lacking.
@TrainTrack – I think paying them minimum wage would be more effective.
But honestly, training on animals really is for the greater good. They do it with pigs as well. You can practice on a manikin all you want… But it will never be the same. And learning on an injured soldier/marine isn’t the way to do it either. So you have to pick the lesser evil.
I don’t believe that at all. Cheers, Michel
I punched a goat in the face because it looked at me wrong. To hell with them I say.
Only if they leave them in good enough condition to be barbecued afterwards.
I have a story about going in my walk in closet and asking ,”who let the goat in?” this summer but it turned out it was just my husband and he didn’t think it was funny.
It sucks to be a goat!
@LadyofWaters - Learn ways to save own men when they face the same fate they subject the rightful residents of A country which they invade.
Isn’t this ironic that we think about saving poor goats while giving a sweet f**k about other humans
Uh, that’s disgusting. Sounds like people just want to blow shit up. Sorry, I just don’t buy that that’s the optimal/only way to teach them how to operate. Lots of people manage to become trauma docs without operating on blown up goats.
They should just practice on politicians…I say no to the blowing up of goats ( unless their politicians )
@steph843 - Trauma docs are different from military docs. Different conditions, stresses, environments. I agree, it isn’t the prettiest, but those that can’t save said goat within a certain time frame wash out. And if it comes to that, I want to know that the guy working on me has his sh*t together.
We should just outlaw war. It’ll work — just as well as gun-free zones work.
Well, since the govt. shut down my petting zoo, I will not support this! I mean, what’s the problem with a lil goat feces here and there? Hey, I know some kids got their shoes ruined, but was there any reason to blow my home business assets up?
@owais52 – didn’t say anything on my views of wars. Only my views of harming animals.
@Texasjillcarmel - Sounds like a fun story.
@Kellsbella - Dang kids shouldn’t have worn their good shoes to the zoo.
Only if the goat has been raped first.
I’m on the fence. If I were a wounded soldier, I’d want a doctor who knows what he’s doing. Experience and all that… I think it would be better to use those dummies and mannequins on Deadliest Warrior. Of course, you can’t really repair the damage, but I think it would be a nice project to make something that mimics human flesh. That can take a while, not to mention a bigger budget.
Sorry, Mr. Goat.
@LadyofWaters - I’m not pissed at you, it’s just we think about animals and their well being when human suffering keeps multiplying. Lets focus on saving humans than other species.
There are more pressing issues, I think.
I dont suport anything that involves killing animals let alone blowing them up.But we dont have any remorse when we blow people up so why would anybody agree with blowing up goats for.
i’m not actually sure how operating on a goat would compare to operating on a human, anatomy-wise…. not that I support the blowing up of humans either, but as advanced as our technology is (and that’s not even counting the top secret crap we don’t know about) i’m sure we could come up with a robot or synthetic human that would be a little more humane and realistic for these doctors to work on.
More Jihadi goat suicide bombers!
i support the blowing up of goats.
@blonde_apocalypse - I heard a gal say that once and laughed so hard.
better them than me
@owais52 – how about focusing on doing good to all and not chastising someone for caring for anything? Do no harm refers to all not just some. And I try to do no harm to anyone. Granted I can get a bit snappy and grumpy but I try to keep it in check.
poor goats… its things like this that make me glad im not a goat.
