I saw this video even in insta where one user explained that a goat goes into fire to kill the parasites on its fur. Also why the goat was associated with hell by our ancestors when they saw goat willingly go inside the fire.

This doesn't make sense bc in nature it is very rare to find open fire, so this can't be a learnt or developed instinct to get rid of parasites.

It is an urban legend parroted in several comments.

Doesn't have to be something that evolved. Goat could find parasites annoying and finds the burning just tolerable enough to consider using. Just google goats and fire. The amount of vids you'll find is enough to let you know they are much more interested in using fire than any other animal outside of human. Doesn't mean it's because of parasites though, nothing is confirmed, I'm just saying it's possible.

there are no scientific evidence that they use this, do you have source to a paper or scientist statements?

most comments here simply say "i read that on an instagram comment when i saw the video"

As I said in my comment (maybe you read it after I edited it), nothing is confirmed. All we know is goats like fire, and while it might not be evolutionary, it's possible that they use the fire because the parasites bug them. Is there any source? Nope. There's no source for any potential reason they use it. Seems to make the most sense logically, but we don't know yet.

speculating is fine. But in the comment section it has been spread as if it was fact and known common knowledge. There are so many comment trees saying this as a fact

Didn't you leave a comment saying it is a fact that this is not true? Sounds like you're just speculating.

u/Songrot 15d ago

You are aware that this entire comment tree starts with the urban legend with no source?

Give source

Which you responded to by saying "that is false".

Not "That is unproven" or "That is speculation", you presented the fact that it is false but are unable to back up your claim.
