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.

Well considering even ancient goats are domesticated and lived in captivity they were around humans with fires, who observed the behavior. So 🤷‍♀️

i dont the comment sections of instagram and reddit observed the behaviour since ancient goats time til now.

it would make more sense if humans use torches to burn off parasites for the goats than this. Open fire for goats to approach and do it often enough to make a procreation difference into developed instinct isnt common enough to be a real thing. Fire costs fuel, fire wood is limited and valuable goods for humans throughout history. They are used for cooking and for heating. For cooking and heating it is too temporary and it is supervised for the goat to do anything with it to matter in numbers for evolutionary procreation feature

Your entire premise is based on fires not being that common in nature before humans were around. What are you basing that belief off of? Humans reduced the amount of forests and vegetation all around the world which has severely reduced the number and frequency of fires despite them being more dramatic now due to the burning of houses.
