Baby goat yoga leads to adult goat deaths

JACKSONVILLE — We must stop this horrid trend of baby-goat yoga!

Teaching cute little goats to pounce on your back or jump up on you is a real no-no - imagine our 210-pound Sammy doing that!

Actually, there are stories of cute little llamas, alpacas, and goats who had to be euthanized because of similar behaviors taught by people who are not thinking ahead - people who should know better!

Sorry to be a party pooper, but please tell your yoga community that goat yoga with baby goats will lead to adult goat deaths if they teach them such dangerous bad habits when they are cute little kids!
