'Mean Spirited' Goat kills Pastor - an angry goat, probably looking something like this one, in the words of the police 'just went berserk' and attacked and killed an elderly Christian Ecclesiastical official in Tennessee, USA.

With Video Report from abcnews.com which will annoy you by resizing your browser and buffering unfeasibly raucous adverts before and after the clip but which will edify with details on the demise of the 'very mean spirited, angry, belligerant goat', which was offed by the deceased religious figure's eldest born son for great justice after it had continued to bounce up and down on the already dead, rope-entangled presbyter and attempt to further assault his shocked wife and emergency medical technicians. Richard Dawkins was unavailable for comment.

  • Shootin' was too good for him, I'm tellin' ya. They should have hanged 'em. Angry Goat Kills Pastor A Tennessee man suffers a fatal heart attack after being rammed by his pet. If you find an Atheist in your neighborhood, TELL A PARENT OR PASTOR RIGHT AWAY! AVOID TALKING TO THEM! Atheists are often very grumpy and bitter and will lash out at children The jokes, they write themselves!
  • A goat killed a Pastor? How came this to pass? etc.
  • This isn't really funny, you sickos. That goat had FAMILY.
  • All resulting from an argument about who was the oldest goat around.
  • Sorry to butt in, but this story really gets my goat.
  • I had a goat. He was a good-natured dehorned Nubian. He butted my grandma. He also bucked my cousin off when she tried to ride him. But both of these were things he seemed to regard as play time, not as Evil Marauding Goat Madness. In high school I used to play the "push on the goat's head" game with him. My full body weight and strength against his head, pushing as hard as I could. He'd just brace his feet, and using only his neck muscles would gently but firmly push me backwards until I gave in. I was never able to get him to give up first, and if I did manage to push him backwards a bit he never had any difficulty regaining the lost ground. Goats are damn strong. And now I have Cake lyrics running through my head. Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell...
  • Ooh, Nubians are teh cute.
  • Monkeyfilter: He butted my grandma. He also bucked my cousin
  • Nubian, eh? We got lots o' dat.
  • Warning: This links to a video of an eagle literally picking a goat up and throwing it off a cliff. Do not click if you would rather not see (albeit bloodless) animal on animal violence. Eagle throws goat off cliff. Really.
  • Very efficient evolutionary tactic (if that film is not entirely staged) but irrespective of the reality of the footage, birds of prey have been reported doing this sort of thing for a very long time indeed. The ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus was said to have been killed by an eagle which dropped a tortoise on his bald head, mistaking it for a stone - the birds apparently dropped tortoises on rocks to break the shell of the creatures and get to their tasty innards. Yum. Personally, I don't find this kind of footage horrifying, merely fascinating. It's pointless human on animal violence that I find horrific. This is just nature. And birds am smart.
  • I'm amazed anyone ever doubted that birds are the descendants of dinosaurs. it's pretty frakking obvious, isn't it?
  • Yes, but goats are real party animals!
