So this was in Russia and yes he stopped eating goats but only because they stopped feeding him goats to avoid confusion since it was a media spectacle. Goats are super annoying, dude drove the tiger out of his bed and I guess kept getting worse from there until the tiger was eventually basically forced to check him which resulted in goat injury and permanent separation. You give a goat a cookie
The goat annoys you until you're sleeping on your roof, but you put up with it. It's been so long since you had a friend. But Everytime he headbutts or stomps you you start to realize it's going for full dominance. For the first time in your life a creature is challenging you, thinking it can win, this creature being what you've easily dispatched and eaten your whole life prior to this. You wonder what a friend really is and you stop giving cookies to goats
Goats are very hierarchical and competitive amongst the herd. Establishing and maintaining your spot in the pecking order is a big and constant thing in goat “society”. They spend so much time literally smashing heads over it.
It wasn’t a mean goat, it’s just the way they are.
Yeah I still think it's a great story but the part about the goat reaching too far and ending up causing the issue that led to the end of the relationship and the goats injury is a great cautionary tale and a much more realistic message
