The “fainting goats” will forever be hilarious to me lol

I thought they were interesting and considered getting one. I then realized that it would teach my kids to deliberately startle an animal just to see something unique. I decided that it's a bad idea to keep one as a pet.

Why do people scare them knowing this that’s terrible
@jakida123 10-11-2024 02:31
What is outrageous is that these people on purpose scares the poor animals to entertain the internet….

You can say about this condition all you want. I have myotonia congenita. I suffered through middle school and high school with this I could not participate in any sports because I would always fall on my face.

Freeze response… not nice

How is it funny to render a prey animal defenseless? The goats remain conscious and are aware they can’t Run and avoid whatever startled them in the first place. Everybody says the myotonia doesn’t ”hurt” the goats but they only mean physically.

They don't faint. They're legs tense up

I have been diagnosed with this.... and 3 of my children have it. It is a gene mutation .... and I can hardly watch this because I know exactly what it feels like..... and it’s not funny. I have almost died because of it

THEY DON'T FAINT! Myotonic ‘fainting’ goats have a harmless condition called myotonia congenital that causes their muscles to freeze when they’re startled or excited, for about 10-15 seconds. There is no fainting - it is temporary muscles freezing, tight, and stiff.
