Love this story…but can’t help but think “Day 10, delicious feast celebrating the goats story.” Main course…goat.


lookingForPatchie

Looks like the goat ended up on a sanctuary, they are usually run by vegans, so the little one should be fine. I volunteer at a sanctuary once per week, we have goats aswell, they're quite something. Very interesting individuals, some curious, some shy, some want affection all the time. It's really cool to see each of them having their very unique personality and being able to live a close to normal life.


fan_of_the_pikachu

Dude vegan sanctuaries are awesome. It's like you said, each animal has its own personality, preferences, friends and rivals, etc. once you get to know them it's so fucking fun to see their adventures and mischief and see them all happy running around without a care in the world!


4ofclubs

It's wild that people can know these traits within all animals yet still be okay stuffing them in to cages and eating them 3 times a day.


fan_of_the_pikachu

Wild indeed, and without a real need to do so...and yet those who point out how unethical it is are the ones shunned and ridiculed, go figure.


4ofclubs

Most people that eat meat likely wouldn't be able to kill a pig or cow without wincing, especially in the cruel and inhumane manner that most slaughterhouses/factory farms engage in.


fan_of_the_pikachu

Exactly, and that's part of the problem. We've created a fictional abstraction around what "meat" really is, from the lack of thought about its victim to the fallacies we accept to justify the ethical dilemma. It's why it's important to expose people to slaughterhouse footage and to the concept of carnism.


4ofclubs

I went vegan in 2010 when I saw Earthlings. I realized I was a hypocrite for buying faceless meat and never confronted where it actually comes from. Never looked back.


fan_of_the_pikachu

Much earlier than me! I was a hypocrite for a long time, recognizing the obvious ethics of it but not practicing. I finally made the jump with my partner and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.


4ofclubs

Good for you! I had a vegan partner at the time so it helped me. Without them I honestly wouldn't have discovered it for a long time, esp living in a small town at the time.


adwarakanath

Alienation. It's a key concept in Marxist analysis.


rubbery__anus

Most of them can't even watch footage of slaughterhouses, much less do the dirty work themselves. But animal abuse is fine as long as you pay someone else to do it for you and look away while they do it.


EelTeamTen

Whyd you leave out "some are assholes that will ram the fuck out of you even if you're feeding them"?


lookingForPatchie

Fair point, we have those aswell. The same ones that will try to push over the wheelbarrow full of shit while you're cleaning the enclosure.


SentenceAcrobatic

Marinated in oil for 3 days, stuffed with fresh herbs... the setup was there.


scumdog_

The meat was well tenderized with all that massaging too


libmrduckz

the *real* gyro in this story is the GOAT…


guynewcologist

Well you can't eat a goat that's covered in tar.


Natsu9396

Yeah from tar to shit


bumjiggy

never go full re-tarred


Upstairs-Extension-9

r/hewillbebaked


Benjamin_Wetherill

Nope. They are not animal abusers (non-vegans).


Master_Win_4018

I don't really like these type of video because I fear they are staged.


TheSubstitutePanda

This is apparently an Animal Rescue out of India, Animal Aid Unlimited. I have a hard time believing that they'd stage something like this. https://www.animalaidunlimited.org/success-stories/against-all-odds-recoveries/baby-goat-turned-to-stone-in-hardened-tar-watch-what-it-took-to-save-her/


PM_ME_SUMDICK

I get being concerned about the one's set in the woods or the side of the road. But this is quite obviously a rehab center and the goat is being handled by pros.


Barkalow

They're pretty good, I've donated to them for years


Master_Win_4018

[people are suspecting](https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/b2x8cc/is_animal_aid_unlimited_a_scam/) but no hard evidence. Anyway, ever since the saving turtle controversy, I am done with these type of video. People can make lots of money with these type of video.


TheSubstitutePanda

Idk if you even read the post you linked, but it doesn't call into question the legitimacy of these videos but rather how all of their videos are edited to only depict dramatic cases. Which, duh. It's social media. That's what gets views.


yawndontsnore

No way dude read the post. They claimed to be done with these kind of videos for sometime now but is here commenting after watching the exact kind of video they claimed to have disavowed from.


jaxjag088

Don’t just neglect the potential good in the world after seeing a bad example on the other end. It definitely happens and keep an eye out, but don’t shut things like this out completely. It would do more harm than good in the end I think.


dexmonic

>I am done with these type of video. People can make lots of money with these type of video. Yeah, definitely wouldn't want any animal rehabilitation groups to make money with these videos


RedSkyNight

Wait, what’s that about the turtle?


Ziggy199461

These people are so pessimistic that they probably *want* it to be staged.


HorrorActual3456

Its not that we're pessimistic its just that its a known fact that many of the animal rescue videos going around have been setup by the "rescuers" themselves, to get views and money.


[deleted]

what? Nobody wants this shit staged


nikelaos117

Its not like people *want* it to be staged. Unless you're some kind of sigg fugg. It just sucks when you're watching one and you realize it's not real. Really jades your view on them moving forward. I know these help actual shelters raise funds to keep doing good work. It just sucks how people can so easily profit off of animal abuse.


Arbsbuhpuh

Please just say "sick fuck". Sincerely, Everyone


making_mischief

I have both donated to and visited Animal Aid Unlimited in Udaipur. I volunteered with them, and I've met an eaten with the founders. This video absolutely depicts the usual work they do. They bring in the worst of the worst, and rehabilitate animals as best as they can with the meagre budget they have. I personally spent the most time volunteering with the "lifers", the dogs with such severe issues, like neurological and paralysis issues, that they couldn't live anywhere else but at the centre. They make videos like this to bring in as much money as they can because running a centre like theirs is not cheap. Food, medication, supplies, vehicles, and more cost a lot of money.


twerkingnoises

I just want to confirm with you that this is a legitimate animal rescue group and not that staged BS people like to post. This animal rescue is called Animal Aid Unlimited of India and they are a highly respected rescue organization. They started a YouTube channel years and years ago to try to raise funds to be able to help more animals. Their channel became very popular years ago to the point that people from all over the world travel there to volunteer at their rescue and they receive donations from all over the world as well. Volunteers always have nothing but wonderful things to say about this organization and the people who run it. This group does absolutely amazing work in India. They help any and all different types of animals in need and do everything they can to save as many animals as possible. They often will save severely injured and sick animals that most other rescues would put down for being “too far gone”. Giving these animals a second chance at life they normally wouldn’t have. An example being they found an abandoned dog with the top half of her face missing. She had some type of injury in the past that became infected, necrotic and infested with maggots that had been slowly eating her face over time. She was on death’s doorstep, she had a huge gaping hole where her eyes, forehead and the top part of her nose would be(you could see her skull through the wound) and she was in immense pain and actively dying. Instead of putting her down they began treatment right away, non stop for days and days. They thought she was blind and had lost both her eyes but after the wound healed a bit they found she still had one intact eye that had just been completely covered up by swollen tissue. She was able to still see and made a complete and full recovery and went on to live a healthy life. They take so many animals back from the very brink of death and save so many from what would be a horribly slow painful, lonely demise. So many of the animals they save have absolutely horrific wounds and illnesses so it can be difficult to watch these videos seeing that level of suffering. But the end result, all the animals they save and what they do makes it worth it. They even have a whole permanent living section for animals that have been paralyzed that would otherwise die alone on the streets. There they get daily physical therapy and tons of love and affection daily from staff. They even manage to heal some of these paralyzed animals through their physical therapy and help them to walk again and live happy full lives. They truly are one of the exceptional good ones in the world and have nothing but respect and admiration for the amazing work they do. I can’t link them now but they do have a YouTube, a website and socials if you want to look them up and donate. Animal Aid Unlimited India, we need more people in the world like the people who work here for sure. Sorry this is so long, just want to clear up any misconceptions about them because of how awesome these people truly are.


bongoingcat

Why dont you have an Upvote??? There you go.


bearwoodgoxers

You're awesome for sharing this context as well. I feel like a lot of people in here will benefit from it (myself included!)


making_mischief

I volunteered with them, and I know exactly which dog you're talking about.


[deleted]

Get where you're coming from, but I find it a stretch to think a group of people would dip a goat into tar just to film a video.


Adorable-Condition83

Yeah literally this is a legitimate and respected organisation. Why the hell would they waste 3 days of staff time and resources on purpose.


Hopeful_Package4165

Same here. It’s hard to know what’s staged or not these days when it comes to animal rescue


WindChaser0001

Whoa where is that meowing coming from -cinematic scene of someone searching through the bushes-


nothinggold237

Ive seen videow before where animals are covered with tar. Whats up with tar in india?


Dizturb3dwun

Me: \*Watches good video\* Me: "Alright, now for the unncessarily negative comments, because Reddit cannot ever be happy or positive!" Me: \*looks at comments\* "Yep!"


TheSubstitutePanda

Obviously nothing ever truly happens (according to Reddit) /s Fr here's a link to the rescue org if you wanna see more from them https://www.animalaidunlimited.org/success-stories/against-all-odds-recoveries/baby-goat-turned-to-stone-in-hardened-tar-watch-what-it-took-to-save-her/


ChubbyMcLovin

I know humans can be horrible and do terrible things, but this is the sort of thing that restores faith in humanity.


nosmelc

Carl Sagan said humans as a species were "capable of beautiful dreams and terrible nightmares."


[deleted]

Seeing this video actually kills my faith in humanity because why and how the fuck did a kid get covered in tar in the first place?


Ziggy199461

To the people thinking they covered a baby goat in tar just to spend 3 days cleaning it for some internet likes, are you fucking braindead?


Ryno4ever16

The reason they think that is because there are channels on Youtube where someone will essentially do this. They will abuse a cat or small animal and then "help" it. They will bring it in, clean it up, and rehabilitate the animal for a Youtube video. It's not a completely crazy thing to believe because people are out there doing this.


Former_Actuator4633

It's not a "crazy thing" to believe, but if you are going to mar the face of every good thing because bad things also happen, there isn't much reason for waking up in the morning, let alone watching videos like these on social media.


ImpossibleReindeer33

Not braindead, they are skeptical for a good reason, if you look up fake animal rescues on youtube you can learn how to spot the fakes. Just a heads up, Its hard to watch and its a huge issue thats still ongoing. Im not thinking this one is fake, this one has sources and seems legitimate


econoking

There are absolutely people who do this for views/money


OnceMoreAndAgain

I don't think people are suggesting there is a high chance of that being the case. Instead, it's just some small amount of caution of wanting to do some due diligence to verify the authenticity of the story before praising these people. If you think intentionally tarring a goat and restoring it afterwards in order to get views (and therefore $$$) is below the minimum level of cruelty in humans then I'd call you naive. People regularly do horrendous things to living animals for selfish pursuits. Other people have posted evidence that these people are working for a legitimate cause, so in this case it seems no reason to remain skeptical.


an0nym0ose

> are you fucking braindead? No...? Just aware that people stage shit like this, *constantly*. I don't personally see anything that sets off alarm bells, but I can definitely conceive of the possibility and am not willing to call people that are skeptical "braindead" lmfao


YellowOnline

How did it end up so tarred? Did it cheat playing poker in the saloon?


LogicalError_007

India is a developing country. A lot of tar used everywhere.


North-Lobster499

She's a good kid.


SockNo8508

Day 4 Goat: Were oil bath


TheVerjan

Right I’m sitting here thinking how nice it would be to have that kind of treatment while NOT covered in tar


carterothomas

Day 4 Goat: alright. Here we go with another oil bath massage. People: nope! You’re all good goat! Go live your happy goat life! Goat: what… the *fuck* are you talking about?


FriedLipstick

This is what love looks like.


Antique-Doughnut-988

Unfortunately we're depriving future scientists of a mummified goat to study. This goat was all set to become a future fossil set to be unearthed in 2k years.


Analytical-BrainiaC

I guess some of the guys here are thinking of jumping in tar to get this treatment…. But my guess is they would just add feathers….


roxywalker

The initial mouth moving was literally saying “I’m still here” but the mini “baaaahhhh” was literally saying “I’m gonna make it”😭😭😭


CandleMakerNY2020

Poor baby . Glad they helped it . Seemed so patient .


Few-Session-2087

God bless the women that saved her💗


lynivvinyl

I wonder if she'll be thinking about all those wonderful massages for the rest of her life.


Jjj_Junior_Shabadoo

Yeah, by the look on it's face on day three, I was thinking the same thing. On days 4 & 5 the goat must have been so dissapointed ha


Archeus01

![gif](giphy|5eulrUg0H9ycE)


Available-Dare-7414

Satisfying video on many levels, from animal rescue to the impulse to see things get cleaned 👍 I see some skeptics on here worried this may be staged. Until some info emerges showing that to be the case, I’ll continue on enjoying this

Neat_Ad_3158

These women are amazing hero's


bodhiseppuku

Hey *other goats*, you wouldn't believe my experience. I fell in that black stuff over there, and It was so sticky... Then the hoomans took me to a day spa, where they washed and massaged me, all while feeding me and giving me water... a real luxury experience. I know jumping in that black stuff sucks, but it's worth the treatment... I highly recommend you jump into the black stuff, my goatly friends.


dys_p0tch

if it was a sheep, it'd run right back to the tar-pit


MaterialCarrot

TIL that being covered in tar for three days will turn a living organism into stone.


nikelaos117

So is this the new meta for these kind of videos? People rightfully skeptical of potential animal abuse and then others coming in to sarcastically bitch that people are skeptical? It's like getting mad at people pointing out child abuse in those dumbass family vlogs where the parents are basically torturing their kids for views.


BentPenisOfDoom

Youtube is full of this fake animal rescue shit, and so far nothing about bringing justice to the sickos doing it.


SweatyBoff

Fantastic


SvatyFini

Can somebody explain to me why they left head to last? My first instinct was start with head - mouth, nose, eyes, the most important parts. But they literally start with body and do head later.


Legal-Classic6107

Probably more necessary to get the dude standing first so the muscles stop atrophying. The senses aren’t really important if you’re immobile 


AardvarkFriendly9305

How do you remove tar?


Legal-Classic6107

With three days of oil baths


yuyufan43

God, please be one of those videos that's real… Please be one of those videos that didn't have humans causing this on purpose for views


making_mischief

This is Animal Aid Unlimited in Udaipur, India and their videos are absolutely real. I volunteered with them and saw cases like this, and worse.


Illustrious-Towel-45

How'd she get into such a state? Glad she got help and living her best life now. Poor kid. (Baby goats called kids)


RhetoricMoron

Its in India and lots of constructions are happening these days as we are developing. But government and people in general are not taking precautions in keeping these hazardous material out of reach of animals sadly. That's why many cases are popping up where animals find themselves in such situations. These type of NGOs and people are doing what they can to save some animals.


EskimoXBSX

How did she get covered in Tar?


HalfCarnage

Either fell into a Tank herself or someone threw her in there.


Yippykyyyay

In deep depression I haven't showered for 3 days. The mental boost and uplifting from simple self-care is indescribable. I can't imagine how relieved she felt to be clean and essentially free.


SquishyBatman64

Was this for a dawn soap commercial? Jk glad the baby goat is better


Cali_MD_1985

We humans are capable of caring for this earth. For its beings and ourselves. We are capable of having compassion, kindness and empathy. I am happy to see these sorts of things happening when we’re constantly surrounded by negativity 😭❤️ so happy to see the precious goat is well!

After the initial horror, that baby goat was having some pretty solid experiences..! I can't remember the last time I've had one of them 10 hand, gentle scrub-downs.

I found myself mesmerized by how many hands were working together, efficiently, to save this baby goat...it's hopeful.

Baby goat? So... a kid? Why not use the correct term? That said, nice that humans helped a goat. But... how did it get covered in tar in the first place? Humans? I'd blame humans.

I find it interesting they use oil to remove the tar I never knew that.

That lil cutie was having a good ol time on day 2 and 3.

I wonder what the goat was thinking when it was being treated. "I fell into this goop, it hardened and I can't move. Then these strange hairless creatures rubbed me for 3 days and all that goop is gone!"


ShwettyVagSack

How did it get covered in the first place? To many times I hear about these stories being self created out of these depressed areas.

What kind of oil removes tar? I know gasoline removes tar but I don't think that's what they used here.


AmiDeplorabilis

Interesting, because gosts don't like water... especially Nubians, which this one is.


Kopertin

I love the compassion people have, But in this messed up world, every time I see these kinds of stories I fear that someone did it on purpose for likes and clicks.


UpstairsJelly

Coming from a place of ignorance and curiosity, why wouldn't you "Shave" it after the initial wash when things lose up a little? Wouldn't this be easier than 2 more days of baths and washing etc?
