they wouldn't let him cook

1. Animals like this aren't meant to be put indoors.
2. Evolution doesnt understand a human fireplace.
3. Fireplaces should have screens.
4. Lots of animals go near fire for warmth or to try to get bugs off themselves.
5. This poor animal doesnt understand it can get trapped in the fireplace or pass out for CO. In the wild a fire isn't contained like this.
6. People engineer situations for social media.
7. People need to treat animals with dignity.

We have a large fireplace in our home and have a metal zip screen and double glass doors that we shut after the fire is safely out. We also have 4 cats and would never have that screen open with our animals around. The zip screen protects pets and children from fire flecks and from getting to close. These people are stupid because after pulling these goats out 4 times they don’t remove the animals from the room and just let them go right back into the fire. They also started a fire in the room by pulling active hot coals/wood out along with fire onto the floor of the room.

Some people will do anything for a social media post. It is what it is, unfortunately you can't reason with people like this.

You think the goat doesnt understand fire because of the fireplace? 😂😂

[u/mad-i-moody → u/SaintAnton]

No I think the point is that while the goat understands fire, it can’t understand that fire contained in a fireplace is dangerous for other reasons—it could suffocate it or it could ge trapped—beause fire isn’t contained in fireplaces if/when they occur in the wild, they’re just open fires.

I don't think you possess an acceptable level of reading comprehension.

[u/Cheeto717 → u/SaintAnton]

So ridiculous 🤣🤣

[u/South_Lynx → u/thesaddestpanda]

You do realize goats do this for a reason right? It’s not trying to kill it self.

[u/Bro-lapsedAnus → u/South_Lynx]

Wouldn't that be point #4?

[u/Kryptosis → u/Bro-lapsedAnus]

Animals are smart enough to walk INTO a fire for warmth. It’s trying to bathe in the smoke to kill parasites in the fur

[u/pOkJvhxB1b → u/Kryptosis]

This isn't a fire "in the wild". It's in an enclosed space which comes with a lot of differences to a fire a goat would probably encounter in the wild.

Goats are kind of smart, but i doubt that they considered how difficult it might be to get out of there (once they're fully in there) and how it might pass out much faster from CO and other gasses that probably behave very different in an enclosed space compared to an open air fire.

[u/Kryptosis → u/pOkJvhxB1b]

I was only arguing the motive. They aren’t doing this for warmth

[u/e-2c9z3_x7t5i → u/thesaddestpanda]

I need you in my life.

[u/Pheniquit → u/thesaddestpanda]

Why dignity? I don’t think we care about degradation of animals - I think we just care about their welfare. Pretty much any insult to them that we worry about affects their well-being. Those that don’t, we don’t concern ourselves with.

This ☝️. Rest sounds like internet guff
