Goat Racing Video Has Been Posted!

Yes, by all means, if you're the type of person who believes that abusing sentient animals is funny, by all means play the video, and as Johnny (Asshole) Goodtimes says, enjoy!

Kudos also to Keri Lee for encouraging this sort of moronic behavior.

This sort of white trash spectacle is a good argument for not outlawing the sale and ownership of assault rifles. Asshole.

As someone who is both a former animal trainer and owner of two beloved pet cats, I am having a hard time believing that Anonymous Jim is being serious. As anyone who knows me can attest, I love my cats madly, but would have no problem with them participating in a cat race. Would they stress out if they saw a big crowd of people? Yes. (Well, Popo would, though Malia would revel in the attention.) But I hardly think that they would be permanently traumatized by the event. They don't slaughter these goats after the race. They take 'em back to their farms, and I feel confident that within an hour of returning to the farm, the goats mind simply thinks, "Hay. Hay. Hay."

Hey, Johnny Goodtimes. Does Barack Obama know what you've been up to? I mean, you take an innocent goat, load it into a trailer, line it up at the start of an asphalt driveway, drag the terrified animal to your (!) victory (!). Wow. What an accomplishment. Wear lederhosen. Drink copious amounts of beer. Dance like a jerk. And the beer! Beer! Obama would be so proud. I mean, we're supposed to mobilize, unite for a common good, abandon complacency, change, do for others, cure the sick, hope, abolish poverty, achieve nirvana, sing with the angels, end restless leg syndrome. Are you sure you're with the program?

As the founder of Hugs for Puppies, the only thing I found abusive in that video was the way the goats dragged the drunk humans around. I mean, animal rights extend to humans (most of the time) so I've got to be consistent here and put the blame where it's due.

Crystal Meth? Someone named their goat Crystal Meth? A redneck extravaganza, for sure.

The fact that JGT is "a former animal trainer" does not make his opinion more credible but rather less credible. I'm glad he loves his cats. If he were to leash them and make them participate in a cat race, I would conclude that he's not fit to have cats.

I have cats and I feed them dog food and I founded Hugs for Puppies so I think Johnny is fit to own cats.

Wow Jim, not only do you manage to come across as a reactionary with unclear notions of what constitutes animal cruelty, you also not very subtly suggest killing people. Wow. Takes gall to go out on a limb and call for the killing of people over an event where none of the animals died. Especially somewhere that can call up your URL real easy. Tsk tsk.
Are you posting about the Derby too? Just curious....
Do you fly? because air travel is bad for the birds that live near the airport YOU SAVAGE BASTARD!!! You drive a car?!?! YOU EVIL RAT FU*KER! - Those things are made with metal. You think you can pull that stuff from the ground without upsetting worms?@! YOU EVIL MAN! I bet you even killed ants with your callous and careless 'foot stepping'.
True, the goat racing may not be what goats do best but is there nothing else in the world more pressing about which your panties could get bunched?
Do you boycott things from the Philippines because of the cockfighting there? Do you protest Hawaii's inclusion into the Union because cockfighting is prevalent there?

Wow, quite a list. I also kill bugs in my apartment. I've even been known to eat meat. I also didn't condemn female circumcision and capital punishment in my post. I guess that makes me quite a hypocrite. I confess.

But at least I'm not an illogical moron who defends totally unnecessary cruelty to animals in the name of entertainment. And "none of the animals died." That's quite a standard of behavior you've got there.

By the way, people who use emoticons provide another good reason not to outlaw the sale and ownership of assault weapons.

So you better track me down through my URL, dickweed, and alert the school principal, just to be on the safe side. Or you might check the dictionary under "hyperbole."

ooooooh - tough guy. How is the treatment of animals for slaughter better than goats racing? Wondering where the line is... leather? hydro power? hmmm.
And as far as hyperbole goes nice work. I truly cower before your iron clad logic that goat racing is bad and assault rifle comments are nothing, even when repeated with references to school shootings.
But your admitted lack of female circumcision does bring up a point. Why on earth are you seemingly so bent out of shape about this topic on Quizzo website with so many other things in the world to get bent out of shape over? Do you pick random things each day to troll with implied threats and 'dickweed' comments for a good reason or are you lonely? I am not trying to be mean, just curious. Is there an incident in your past involving mammal racing that saddened you? Was it the Derby's tragedy this weekend that set you off? Are you back from a dog fighting protest following the Pamplona protest you must surely have very year? How was your trip the Venezuela to freak out about the off season chicken competitions between major leaguers? I thought you would protest all of baseball in some sort of solidarity but maybe you are outside the stadium on wi-fi. I mean, you wouldn't get your pussy all wet over a goat race and not have the stones to complain about bulls skidding and colliding, terrified in narrow streets in Spain, right Spock? Otherwise I can only assume you to be a sad, angry man who will no doubt call me something like 'douchebag' or 'illogical moron' in retort without explaining where this moral tragedy falls among the current things you bitched about today. And because you didn't condemn circumcision male or female but are not an "illogical moron" you have some kind of winning morality poker hand?
Kudos - enjoy the final word.

Let me try to explain, with the emphasis on "try." If I'm walking down the street and I see a child teasing a dog behind a fence, getting it all excited and upset, I'm probably going to say something along the lines of "Stop teasing that dog. Leave it alone. It's not bothering you." Similarly, if I see a child poking a stick into a hamster's cage to annoy the little rodent, I'm probably going to say the same sort of thing. The fact that the child isn't necessarily trying to kill the dog, or the hamster, really isn't the issue. The fact that some Muslims practice female circumcision, or the fact that the Chinese are harvesting organs from Falon Gong members, really isn't the issue either. Admittedly, these things are far worse abuses. Still, these abuses do not change the fact that it is wrong for the child to tease the dog behind the fence, and it is also wrong for the child to poke sticks into the hamster's cage. It is also wrong to abuse goats by racing them.

Run along, little boy. I think I hear the recess bell ringing. And don't tease the animals. They're not on the earth for you to amuse yourself by fucking around with them. Go play some video games or something, and leave the animals alone.

Why don't all of you channel this energy and instead of posting lame blogs, do something worthwhile like tutoring or joining Big Brothers/Big Sisters? If you do that already, you're apparently not doing it enough if you have this much time on your hands.

Only on johnnygoodtimes.com could a heated debate break out about goat racing. I think this site has a lockdown on "weirdest comments section in Philadelphia". And that's not a bad thing.

I think this whole argument is baaaaaaaaaaahd.

Hey Andy needs a nickname....

stop KID-ding around. This is serious.

Jim, thanks for clarifying things without resorting to being a dick. Well done. You are right - poking a stick at an animal is bad. Goat racing is bad. Horse racing is bad. Dog racing is bad. Pet birds are bad. Hunting is very, very, very bad. Eating must be bad by any reasonable interpretation of your grand moral treatise, especially if not organic and free range. Please continue to guide us in our moral journey through life as we all have a long way to go to reach your level of sage and honest wisdom. I can only hope that in my advancing years I have the time to set aside and share my accumulated wisdom with a group of people who really couldn't fucking care. I look forward to your post about the horrors of the Sea Monkey industry and the mail order genocide perpetrated in the name of 'fun cavorting about'

Wow. A new low. Congrats. By the way, I called myself "Goat's Head Soup." Get it? Because this thread is about the treatment of goats. I mean, holy cow. No, wait. Sorry. Let me retract that. I don't want to upset the cow lobby.

You're confusing Anonymous Jim with Barack Obama. Barack Obama is the best human being ever, the one to be worshipped, the one who will make us proud to be Americans for the very first time. He made us see that We are the ones who We have been waiting for. Anonymous Jim is just some guy who gets pissed off about goat racing.

BTW, I agree with him. I think Gandhi would also. Goat racing may not be the worst human behavior of all time but aren't we supposed to respect living things?

Bob!

Hi, BMT. How's it hanging, bro?

A correction: I shoulda said "WHOM we have been waiting for." Regret the error and all that. Hey, I'm not perfect like Barack.

Bob, what's up dude? Little known fact for you: after inventing the internet, Obama spiked old Joe Hazelwood's grog thereby laying the intoxicated foundation for that oil spill up there in Alaska. He then singlehandedly cleaned it up to preserve the Prince William Sound and, as an encore created the species polar bear from his toenail clippings.

So far the exchange has been friendly, but if an Obama debate breaks out on the comments section of a story about goat racing, i will shut down the internet.

Thanks. I didn't know that, but it sounds right.

It's probably only a matter of time before someone compares JGT to Hitler because of his support for goat racing.

So I'll get it over with--JGT is as bad as, if not worse than, Adolf Hitler.

Thanks Bob. Hitler would have never supported goat racing. Truth is, he loved animals.

Not to compare Obama to Hitler, but Obama himself is an animal lover. It's true: not only did he sire the entire polar bear species (as mentioned above) but he also owns an impressive collection of goat cheeses.

Good point, JGT. I'd suggest that it would seem that that makes Anonymous Jim like Hitler only I'm afraid he'd come after me with his assault rifle.

BTW, do you really know how to shut down the internet. Tell me! Wait, don't post the info. It could be dangerous if it fell into the wrong hands. You can tell me some night after quizzo.
