Ah! The answer is simple! If you tie them to a pole (or Swede!),
or something like that, they might naw at the rope and escape, so, all you
have to do is suspend them from something like a tree! If (most unlikely),
one gets tired of just hangin' around and manages to naw through the rope,
it'll fall to it's doom. Then, all the other goats in the vicinity will see
this and become paranoid from the traumatising sight of their friend and
realtive falling through the air and landing abruptly on what they had been
happily chewing on their whole lives (grass, no not weed! Well, maybe just
a few), that they won't want to naw through the rope! This might also work
as a drastic dietary measure 'cause they'll be scared of the grass (I
repeat: not weed!) Try it - it just may work!
