Underwhelmed by the response, with a bit of research I uncovered these tidbits; a goat named Maria was targeted and killed in a drive by shooting in Santa Fe, some goats in the UK were caught after binging on hallucinogens, there are a number of goats taped chugging beer, and there is actually a farmer in upstate New York recording the secret lives of his goats plotting the overthrow of the farm machines on a webcam when he's not around. So there may be some substance to your suspicions that goats are not so different than you and I-if you're from Baltimore. Finally, there is this picture I stole from the internets;
