A butcher in Perth, Australia, is under fire for advertising that its goat meat comes from the baby goats at a petting zoo. Swansea Street Family Butcher wrote on Facebook post that their baby goats come “straight from the petting farm into our back door.” The post shows a photo of a live goat next to a rack of skinned goat carcasses, and the line, “Ever been at a petting farm and wondered what these animals you’re feeding taste like? Well now’s your chance, straight from the petting farm into our back door, bottle-fed baby goats all around 10kg only $15/kg. While stocks last. See if love and endless cuddles does make your food taste better.”
* It’s goat meat. How good CAN it taste?
* If you were ever a kid and you went to a petting zoo and got attacked by the goats after those food pellets in your hands, I don’t think you would mind this too much.
* Kinda makes you wonder why petting zoos don’t have snack bars. Eliminate the middleman.
* Does this butcher take requests? I’ve got a neighbor with four dogs that just won’t stop barking.
