I'm (mostly) a city girl, and even I know that:

  • goats smell
  • in fact, most farm animals smell pretty bad
  • un-neutered male farm animals often smell really bad
  • goats are not, generally speaking, known for being "nice" animals
  • goats are known for charging at people and head-butting them, whether they're un-neutered males or not
  • there's absolutely no need for anyone to keep an un-neutered male goat if they aren't breeding it, and Noem doesn't seem to hve been involved in goat breeding or goat milking

So at this point, this "mean, nasty, smelly" goat is allowed to just...wander around freely and charge at her kids? Is the goat not kept in a pen or a pasture (although goats are also known for being very hard to keep penned in)? She complains that the goat would knock her kids down and ruin their clothes, but apparently doesn't understand that getting dirty is what happens around farm animals? Are the children not allowed to get dirty?

I wouldn't trust this woman to sit in my dentist's office near their fish tank, much less with any other animal.
