I have often wondered why this comparison was used…
….and I have actually herded goats 🐐 that my grandfather used to keep at the family farm in Montelepre near Palermo. As a child I was photographed tending the goats.
sheep are every bit as mischievous as goats; I've been around both aplenty; for anyone who thinks sheep are "gentle and submissive", I dare them to go stand in the middle of their pasture with their back turned to them...
