I took the responsibility to tie that goat out, get it grass, maybe even tried to bathe it a time or two. Made a nice pen for it.

Then on Boxing Day, I heard the most horrible bleating.

Then we fried up the blood and made the best curry from the meat.
Tasted great.

My pet chickens went the same way. I was on holiday down south and I went to the market with the great grandmother and saw the cutest chicks selling for a dollar for one. I got two. I didn't ask permission to buy them. the adults didn't comment. They were thinking that with enough food and time they'd be fattened up enough for the pot. I did keep them till half grown then they went to live with a neighbour who had more space for them. I last saw them full grown and that day they entered the kitchen to get killed. The next day when eating my lunch my grandfather asked me how the food was. I told him it tasted good. He then told me I was eating my chickens.

domesticating edible and tuh ah greater extent farmed animals as pets, is ah decadent and affluent beligerancy, as opposed tuh de scrunting and needy, ah have seen dat in de slums of asia and africa, decades after ah left southern lagoons.
ah seen hungry chirren wid eyes big as moons and food bowls as dry as de sahara, some fainting, oddahs trembling an barely standing, who in dey wildest dreams, cyar imagine ah piece ah meat......(ah used tuh do volenteer humanitarian work fuh CARE)

So some expat sent me this link to carnivaltv to see some Jazz festival going on in Tobago last weekend....when I tuned in..... all I saw was footage from....GOAT RACING... stuuuups.

All I could think of was...."allyuh goat lookin fer ah good pot".

Oh, and by the way, that carnivaltv show was supposed to help promote Tobago to international tourist... "AH DOH TINK SO TOBAGO" ah kar see tourist packing their bags and rushing down to Tobago to see..... GOAT RACING!!! eh eh.
