It’s the Summer of Goats! Why These Adorable Jumpy Animals Are Taking Over the Internet

No matter where you look, goats just seem to be everywhere lately. Are we surprised? Not at all! We here at One Green Planet have been talking about goats for a while now, because goats are silly, emotional, resilient, inspiring, they know how to have fun, with a big dose of swagger and style (well, most of the time), and have a habit of looking ridiculously adorable ALWAYS!

So, it was only a matter of time before everyone caught on to it. Jezebel’s Kelly Faircloth recently declared this summer as “The Summer of Goats.” As Faircloth accurately pointed out, “Goats don’t care. Goats are free. Goats don’t recognize your authority, man. Goats grow their beards as long as they want and they never, ever wear a tie to work!”

Yes, goats just wanna have fun!

So, move over cats and cute puppies….the goats have declared their takeover. It’s the Summer of Goats, and here are 25 examples of why goats deserve all the attention in the world.
