Really? they closed the trail because people felt "threatened"?
"Nobody has been hurt by the goats. But a number of people have felt threatened,” Neil told Peninsula Daily News."
People do know there are actually wild animals out there, Right?

so youre saying because the report is on foxnews you doubt that the trail is actually closed?
I had a great uncle who had a goat farm in central PA. They CAN get agressive. they are also quite smart. they seem to sense "fear" in humans. they are also territorial. So you get a male, protecting his "ladies", in HIS space.....yeah, you can expect a head butt from him. Yell at him and swat at him to show him you are the boss.....and they would back off, climb up on the roof and make noise at you "nannnna....nannnna....see, stoopid human....I'm up HERE.....nannnnnannnnnaaaaaa".

That's a really weak and petty remark. But here's a link just for you Rainman

Doesn't help credibility when the story is about wild mountain goats, and they use a photo of a domestic pigmy goat with photo-shopped devil red eyes to post a web story.
Makes the story a joke right out of the gate.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who noticed the photo.Wasn't there an incident a couple of years ago where a mountain goat killed a tourist on a popular hiking trail out west? I feel like there was a thread on this site about it around 2009 or 2010.
It's called "Lyme" disease, not "Lymes" disease! (Hint: There's only one Lyme)

Maybe she wasn't working in 2010. From the Seattle Times
In October 2010 an aggressive goat killed a Port Angeles man in Olympic National Park. That goat was killed by a ranger.
Geez, it's an obvious photo-play, btw the red eyes are part of that. Every news organization has done this in the past. You'll are just showing your bias and it's pretty pathetic. It's just a silly story, get over it.
Petty, petty, petty...

well frankly closing the trail because of goats is a joke. yeah i know someone supposedly was killed by one in the past, its still a joke. and its still completely pointless to somehow think the story is wrong or inaccurate because it was reported by foxnews. its not like the goat is running for congress or something. fox also reports the weather, does rain main think they do so with unfair right wing bias? lol
At least MSNBC got it right with a mountain goat. FoxNews pictured a freaking domestic goat.
it wasn't a backyard billy goat like Fox pictured. If wild animals are threatening people, damn straight they close trails.
I've seen 5 rattlesnakes on the trail in the past month and two of them threatened me and were quite rude. The other three were friendly. Wipporwill's have threatened me as well.
Maybe we should be looking at it from a different viewpoint?
If the goats are feeling threatened by humans to the point of becoming somewhat aggressive, maybe the trail should be closed to protect the goats!!
I hear that they're closing the Grayson Highlands because one of the ponies is mean... :-0

Don't care who does it's STUPID. Just like it would be STUPID to post a pick of a Grizzly eating an arm and the story was about a black bear stealing food.Geez, it's an obvious photo-play, btw the red eyes are part of that. Every news organization has done this in the past. You'll are just showing your bias and it's pretty pathetic. It's just a silly story, get over it.
Petty, petty, petty...
Don't care if it right or left, it's STUPID.

Speaking of Grizzlies, check out this story if you can stomach opening a fox linkhttp://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/...and-relocated/

I don't care about the photo one way or the other, I have no doubt some intern pulled a stock photo not knowing or caring about what kind of goat it was.
My problem is the idea of shutting down a trail because somebody wasn't comfortable running into a wild animal in the wilderness.
We better shut down the whole state of Maine if that's the new standard.
Sounds like a Fox News anchor.
The more miles, the merrier!
