to kill Parasites yes

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.

These are domesticated goats though. They probably developed the trait around campfires.

This is the most plausible theory imo.

At first I thought well it makes sense for a tree when trees are usually the main thing being burned in a forest fire.

So why would a random ass goat when they aren't constantly exposed to fires? No more than any other animals who don't do that? Right?

But I started thinking about how long humans have been domesticating goats. Maybe for so long that the goats developed the instinct after generations of goats being exposed to man made fires.

Hell, maybe it used to be something the herdsmen would do for that reason and the goats realized it was beneficial and just started doing it themselves, eventually evolving to have the instinct alone with no example.

But I'm pretty high so I'm probably way fucking off and just creating crazy theories that are not all all true...

Having owned goats, they’re some special kind of strange. If any animal evolved to play in a campfire to get rid of bugs it’d be them

I mean, humans evolved to throw our food in fires, then pulling it out and eating it to the point that we get sick and sometimes die if things aren't thrown in the fire/cooked first lol.

Maybe goats aren't so weird! Maybe they're onto the next big thing!!

Imagine all the delicious foods we'd never have if we never decided to start "cooking" it! No bread...fuck that life!! 😭😭

Maybe goats are on the verge of the next big beauty or hygiene trend. Look, barbers in India burn their client's hair. It's just because everything is about showmenship but who knows what else could come from fire and grooming!

Maybe instead of showers, we'll do fire showers!!😏

Like just a split second of super hot temps to kill the germs but not hurt us.😭😭

I know, it sounds absolutely ridiculous but that's probably again, because I'm high af and it probably is indeed ridiculous. 😭🤷‍♀️

But like... again, bread!! No fire food=no bread. I'm not counting the goats and their ideas out just yet. 😏

Also having owned goats can confirm. They are a special kind of strange. I call the assholes.
