They could both read labels and intuitively and instinctively know whether the water was pure enough to drink. The goats that died according to the woman in the news video must have been a different genetic strain, that is line of species. Dumb goats that is. I was trained to believe that goats that were smart could eat tin cans and not die. Too bad she didn't have the smart kind. Well, survival of the fittest, I suppose!

One very forceful advocate of pumping toxic fracking fluids (some of them "trade secrets") into the earth; keeps telling us that the labels on the containers is all that is necessary to protect everyone. ? And is quite insistent that all of the chemicals are always labelled ..... Do you suppose the goats had trouble reading the labels? Or, were the oh so important "labels" and MSDS possibly no where to be found? BIG OIL & GAS love us

Watch the video! Her goats died. After drinking from the stream! How were the goats to know that the proprietary chemicals might cause the billy goat gruff to give one last puff?
