The babies are actually what I thought fully grown Damascus goats looked like. They are adorable with their long floppy ears. Big goat have been doing some heavy propaganda with the Damascus goat. I'm shook after learning what they grow up to look like!
I really want to see a month-to-month progression of what they look like as they grow up. Like at what point do they go from cartoon adorable to hideous beast monster
Imagine every possible mutation a goat can have due to inbreeding plus some human DNA gets in there along the way, that's this goat breed and it's unfortunately real
Plus before achieving it's demonic adult form, it looks absolutely absolutely angelic as a goatlet.
There are big ass rhinos with a horn, big ass birds with a horn, big ass beetles with a horn, big ass whales with a horn, smaller fishes with a horn, lizards with a horn. So many animals rockin a single horn.
And then something like a normal horse with a horn turns out to be a ridiculous mythical creature that farts rainbows.
I saw a weird TV show the other day about an animal that looked like it shouldn't exist and they were wondering if it was a result of nuclear or biological testing. Turns out it was a deformed Damascus goat. Had a really hard time sleeping after seeing the video.
If I saw this animal at night I’d have a heart attack. Looks like from a horror movie! Poor creature though, it looks like a hard life. I hope they at least treat it well
All the adult ones are deformed, yes. From centuries of targeted breeding. Many other domestic goat breeds are not deformed and still look quite similar to wild goats / ibex.
It's also because sacrificing goats and drinking their blood was a big part of a lot of pagan rituals.
Christians, who have much more refined taste in what kind of blood they drink at their rituals, decided that goats were diabolical. "Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell." (Revelation 20:11‑15 Matthew 25:31–46).
Almost - the scapegoat wasn't killed, it was sent away from the village to "a desolate place" to bear the burden of the sins.
Edit: I actually didn't know the full ritual until reading my own link. It involves two goats. One is released (that's the escape goat), the other is indeed sacrificed ("for the Lord").
You say that until one time you don't do it and the village gets washed away in a flash flood or something lol coincidence is a powerful force for animals who specialize in pattern recognition
Nope, that has nothing to say about goats (or animals in general). You're thinking of Matthew, but that was a clear parable not an indictment of goats specifically. But I'm sure misinterpretation of this passage contributed to demonization of goats.
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
I sing this, "Sheep go to heaven, Adam's go to hell." I have a friend named Adam and he's my best friend's little brother, which makes him my little brother. So I've been singing this version on his birthday every year for at least 20 years.
The hand signs that baphomet holds simply represent the principle of "as above, so below". It means that what happens in the realm of spirit (this isn't my belief to be clear) also happens in the realm of man. As above (as it is in heaven) so below (so it is on earth).
I'd personally interpret it as a message of internal karma.
The more I learn about satanism the more I think that it's essentially a school of thought composed of all of the schools of thought that Christianity scorned.
Fun fact: the goat god in princess mononoke is based on the kamoshika, a real indigenous Japanese mountain goat that looks like a mythical creature cross between a deer and a wolf.
Oh my god, you are right on the money with that description. What a strange animal. It's so crazy how you can be a whole-ass adult and someone on the internet can introduce you to a straight up pokemon that exists in the world.
Yeah, mythically ruined by selective breeding efforts.
I seriously don't understand how anybody looks at any of these and sees anything other than horrific deformities, the suffering of an individual forcefully misshapen to amuse people.
Nee, die Funktion überträgt er auf andere um selber gut da zu stehen ...
Aber dadurch beweist er, dass er nicht nur ein Trottel ist ... sondern auch keinen Selbstwert hat.
If I saw this while I was tripping... id treat the goat as if God is sending me a message through him and treat him with the utmost hospitality, talking to him, feeding him, and giving him the best premium 9.5ph water on hand.
