AIBU to want my goat?

[ChrisYoungFuckingRocks]

OK, so I've read on here that apparently council tenants are getting free goats (on top of getting almost free housing)!

I feel this is massive discrimination against us private tenants who pay full rent. I demand equal rights, and I want my goat!!!

AIBU? 😂😂

I live on a council estate but have bought my house. It's not fair, . I want a goat because I hate mowing my lawn and being on the end it's a lot of bloody lawn.

Oooo can you get them with lights on like the reindeer at Christmas?

Of course you can have a goat in a council flat. I know a lady wjo necame a very senior housing officer but in her junior days she received repeated calls from someone living on the 10th floor of a tower block insisting the flat above them was keeping a HORSE. She kept filing it under L for loony but eventually decided to go and check and yes there was a horse living on 11th floor. They took it in the loft every day to take it for a walk!! A goat would be no problem..

I dont have a goat eithet could do wuth one as i hate mowing the lawn sure ut would do a better job

Sorey lots of typos. They took it in the LIFT not the loft!

patricia no lights no, bunting is a possibility. This is 2017 you know.

I was born in a council house and so I got a goat and some coal and my mother got the child benefit. Unfortunately it was a goat for life not just for the duration of the tenancy ( which is the case normally I believe).

When I left home (age 7) to make my own way in the world I had to take the goat with me. That goat was a bloody nightmare to keep in food. I often went without myself to keep the bastard goat fed.

I'm now a homeowner (and a Pagan) and have recently had to sacrifice the goat in an attempt to stop the local Jehovah's Witnesses from trying to save my soul ( whole other thread)

I have a giraffe, but that's part of my privileged life as an Oxbridge Alumna (it's why the dietitian came to see me almost-daily one hospital admission, no clinical need, just... where I went to university... [I'm not sure entirely how it supposedly worked, I didn't like to enquire]) not to do with my DLA. Well, other than that giraffes & zebras live together in the wild, maybe?

Personally I'd rather a donkey than a goat though: I could ride it to the supermarket & it could carry [me and] the shopping home, and it could keep the grass down in the garden for me. Plus I could make a bit of cash doing donkey rides in the local parks/up by the Thames... and they have the softest wuffly noses... could maybe even get a donkey cart...

But if you get dla then it's a THERAPY goat

3xdla in this house. But my dc will trade 3 therapy goats for a pony if anyone is up for trade.

Goat assisted therapy? Dwp will be pushing that for anyone with disabilities screwed onto work related group for esa.

I like curried goat but I don't have any or a goat

But do these Council supplied goats do this?

(I could watch this all day)

Was this in Gateshead Budget?

When I worked for the council 40 years ago this happened in one of the tower blocks. They used to use the dead man's large lift.

I live in surrey in council accomodation and alas we neither get llamas or goats. Feeling a bit hard done by now.

Squiffany's That is SUPERB!

I love the way the little black and white one paddled his tiny hooves on the end of the "ribbon" so that the big brown one fell off!

(Also felt a bit sorry for the one that was chained up - it looked like a billy. I wonder if it was vicious?)

Yeah, the chained up one looks like an adult Billy.
He's definitely going "kids, eh?"

The milk isn't quite the same

Beyond - you milk your rabbit??? 😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂 @ Happy

Goats are browsers so crap for keeping your lawn short. They'll eat your shrubs instead!

My brother has 2 goats and he and
DW are a bit hippyish

Sadly, despite being a full-time worker with CTC as my pay is so fucking awful, we have no goats 🐐 😢

I regularly hear lots of people on great incomes bleating "but where are our free goats? How come only the poor people get them?" and I think "you don't need a goat, you need a reality check".

I am happy living a goat free existence because I'm not a greedy fucker but if I really wanted one I'd save up for it.

I want a goat with glasses. No other goat will do. Could be why my council house didn't come with goat...my LA must have a shortage.

You give someone a free goat and it's not good enough!! Greedy!

I'd be careful getting a goat when you are on DLA. If they film you taking it for a walk and mucking it out or milking it you are buggered! No DLA and up in court you are!! I swear to god on me mudders fishes eyebrows 3hail Mary's and a bag of cheese and onion crisp

My mum still lives on the council estate my GPs moved to in 1955. Surely that qualifies her for a goat/llama/alpaca! She's got a balcony it could live on.

What am i missing. I really want a pig me goat one day

finola did she try for a hamster?

Patricia my mother would never entertain a rodent in her home. Never. And why should she? Why shouldn't she have a ridiculously large, hoofed animal living on her 8ft by 3ft balcony? And yes, she is disabled so it would count as therapy.
