2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $1675.86Goal: $10000

A reminder that you need at least 75 edits and to have had an account for at least 3 months to vote.

Bovidae is the family of mammals that includes goats.

Goats[edit]

See the main article on this topic: Goat

What a mighty specimen is the goat! What strength! What endurance! What capriciousness![1] In action how like an Angel! In apprehension how like a God! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals![2] How noble in thine aspect, so excellent a beast! How noble to the cause of science, that the stench of bullshit may never batter thine brow! How noble to the cause of consumption, that your meat may always grace our stomachs! To compare thee to your fellow bovidae, would be to compare Hyperion to a satyr![3]

In short, the other 131 species in Bovidae can go chew their cud.

Not Goats[edit]

Other bovids are available, apparently, like sheep and NotGoats. But why waste time on them?

Hoofnotes[edit]

  1. A quality named after goats.
  2. Apologies to any Hamlet lovers.Wikipedia
  3. Satyrs were half goat and half human, and thus can be referred to here in the inferior sense.
