It was just so cute and cuddly

This Bedouin also had sheep and goats in the souk. His handler handed me this baby goat, who was just the cutest, softest little thing. When I gave him back, the guy took him by his two front feet and held him suspended like that. I didn't seem to hurt the goat, but I was horrified!

Baby goats are so cute! Don't like to hear about him hanging him by his front legs. I would not have been happy about that either.

It is such a cutie. That's how farmers carry lambs here too.

He is cute, but I like the giant panda in the background.

Cats, goats, camels. You're making a lot of 4-legged friends in the KSA. Cute little guy. V

Adorable little guy, so small and soft. I have to say, his handling would have horrified me too. V

Awwww...goats are sweet babies. I go to Connemara, former home of Carl Sandburg, every spring to see the babies. They're so comical.

This is just too, too, too cute!!!! BV
I would also be horrified to see any animal held by their front feet.
