Goats love happy humans - BBC London

Scientists carrying out research at a goat sanctuary have discovered that the animals are more attracted to happy humans. Researchers from Queen Mary University showed twenty goats a selection of unfamiliar photos of the same human face looking happy or angry. Scientists say the goats were drawn to smiling faces, and the study could affect how we interact with livestock. Amanda Akass has more.

Goats are most defs some of the most observant and compassionate animals there are.

In the US here, LOVE goats! I have 3; 2 wethers & a milker. Nigerian Dwarfs. Smallish yard. They are the most awesome wonderful creatures. I bottle raised 2 and the 3rd is the son of the milker. They make me smile even when I am upset they cheer me up so. I can't speak for them responding to happy faces because they are my therapy. Five minutes with them and my worries are gone. Lol! Sometimes I spend quite a bit of time after a long/hard shift and we just talk and they let me love on them until I must go in. If it was up to be I would have a herd, have acreage and put out a hammock in the nice weather.
