    As. An animal lover I hate to see any animal harmed or likewise however I do think. By saying this is " extreme cruelty " is goin a bit far.

    Extreme cruelty would be like letting the goat starve no food r water subject to high or low temperatures with no shelter.

    Causing harm to the animal
    .

    The organisers claim that the goat is monitored and not harmed.

    I think people jump on the PC wagon and say this ain't right.

    There's plenty of cases of "extreme cruelty " in the four corners of Ireland unfortunately and they involve a lot more than a goat in.a cage.

    Do you not think that putting a wild animal in a cage above a very loud crowd is extremely cruel? The animal is used to living wild and having little or no contact with people or urban life. It would be terrified.

    Typical load of whinging. I did security at a pub there one year and it wasn't the potential cruelty toward the goat I found worrying, it was the potential cruelty from the gangs of mad Travellers armed to the f*cking teeth. The goat is up there and he's only loving it. No fear of him.

    Am I right he's (the goat) made king of killorglin or something??

    You can stick me in a cage and suspend me if I'm made king of something at the end of it.

    I don't agree with it totally no I don't but. I would not brand it as EXTREME I would say yes it's not right but there are far more concerning issues of animal cruelty goin on.
    Sickening cases of torture and neglect that I would call " extreme "

    Has there ever been any instances of the goat escaping or being nicked by pranksters? I presume the animal is heavily guarded by locals day and night, right?

    And bringing a few sheep or horses a mart / fair with a loud crowd with car horns beeping children running everywhere noise commotion music etc etc is something similar

    There are hundreds of animal owners all over the country who bring their " untouched " animals in from a field hill mountain whatever and subject them to a mart or a fair


    I don't see too many giving out about these animals?
    Ok they all aren't in a cage but they're in pens trailers tied up to trailers etc with no where to run........
    Similar if you ask me

    You must be a dab hand at the aul' geneology since you have claimed that everyone there is inbred.

    Is there a specific link between incest and goat-capturing? Was there a goat on a giant pedestal in the Fritzel basement too?

    Hang on it's a wild goat yes ? Lives outside in all weather, Yes bit exposed up there. As for the height, Is their not loads of mountain goats ? That would infer as a species they don’t really have a problem with height. I understand the lack of mountains here but still.

    Goats there are well looked after I don't see any evidence of extreme cruelty ? and to postulate that its cruel OP you better be a vegetarian/vegan or other wise it would seem Ironic that you are concerned with the welfare of a goat 80ft high but think its fine for a pig to be butchered for the sausages you eat for breakfast or for a lamb to be slaughtered for your kebab.

    They tell you they let him back to the wild, what they actually do is cut his throat like the Muslims and stick him on a spit, theirs no kebab like a wild goat kebab

    It seems a common link that to be stupid enough to enjoy this thing you'd have to be inbred.

    Are zoo staff inbred also ? They keep animals in cages for the entertainment of people. Same with aquarium staff keep animals in Tanks ?

    If you feel that strongly about animal cruelty maybe you should tackle larger factions in relation to such cruelty.

    Most zoos are at the benefit of the animals. This isn't.

    Apart from the use of a cage there's no comparison.

    This is like a circus with it's animals. Yeah, funnily enough the same kinda crowd enjoy that too.

    The goat is only delighted. People throwing him burgers and chips and bowls of guinness all day.

    Who wouldn't be happy?

    Is keeping a horse. In a 12ft x 14 ft stable cruel?

    Farming dairy cows. - Is that cruel
    Keeping a dog outside is that cruel.
    Keeping q dog or cat indoors is that cruel.?

    Yeah it's bloody stupid. I'm from Kerry and I've been saying this since I was a kid. I don't know why they still do it.

    Puck is crap anyway.
