That's been my mother's answer to unruly household pets for years. The cats get particularly annoyed, but when they've decided to bite her for no reason, well—my mother can get pretty ornery herself. @Djuna Throw him into the pond!

We had African pygmy goats when I was little, and the dominant male made a career out of power struggles with us. One of my scariest childhood memories is when he found me all by myself painting the barn, and he came up threatening me, and proceeded to 'sharpen his horns' on my paint roller! Those horns were red for years.One day my Dad figured out how to stop the dominance battles - he threw the goat in the pond! Boy was he embarrassed after that, not worth risking what these humans might do in front of his women goats. Man your goats have the life - naughty Fairlight doesn't know how lucky she is!

Your goats seem to be kind of like family pets! Didn't know goats had such personalities. (Wonder if the city of Denver (my locale) allows goats in backyards? They're only now getting 'round to making it easier to raise chickens.) Entertaining story. Your goats seem to be kind of like family pets! Didn't know goats had such personalities.
