Would you trust this goat? Hint: his name is Judas.



While we were on Kaho'olawe, we asked how they managed to find every last goat on the island. It's not an easy island to get around, and there were thousands upon thousands of goats at one time. It would probably be easy to find the first 49,000, but how do you catch the last thousand - the cleverest of the critters?

The answer, it turns out, is to use the goats against themselves. Goats are social creatures who like to hang out in groups. So, the math is easy:

lonely goat + radio collar + time = directions to goatpalooza

If you're a member of the ultimate goat fansite, you might not want to read the next step:

goatapalooza + helicopters + guns = a lot of goat meat

But our lonely goat with the radio collar is spared... because he's got another mission. Find more goat friends.

If sheep go to heaven and goats go to hell, where do these Judas Goats go?
