Goat yoga is a no-no

To the Editor,
Teaching cute little goats to pounce on your back or jump up on you is a real no-no--imagine a 210 pound animal doing that! 
Actually there are stories of “cute little” llamas, alpacas, and goats that had to be euthenized because of similar behaviors taught by people who are not thinking ahead... people who should know better. Sorry to be a party pooper.  
Please tell your yoga community that goat yoga with baby goats will lead to adult goat deaths if they teach them such dangerous bad habits when they are cute little kids.
