"I wonder what sorts of people provide the demand for a magazine about the appreciation of goats. I mean, a book about it, sure, but coming up with new material must be hard. 'Goats continue to have weird rectangular pupils this season', etcetera."

"I dunno, how'd Cat Fancy stick around for forty years? Besides the fact that cats objectively possess great intrinsic value, of course."

"More people have cats. It's the sort of thing you'd get for an aunt you didn't know very well who had four of them. Few aunts have four goats."

"I'm the aunt with four goats, honestly. But really, I think it's for farmers? Like, feed options, goat-related studies... How to better goat."

"Yeah, that's probably a thing, although that seems less 'goat appreciation' and more 'goat-related business models'."

"I think they probably appreciate their goats as well! Just probably not enough not to sell their delicious flesh."

"In the United States at least it's probably mostly milkers."

"Oh, maybe. Makes sense. They get a higher appreciation threshold, then."

"That's true. My mom used to know a lady who had a few goats, actually, I remember now. They had names I can't remember. I think they were milked."

"Aww. I love when people give their livestock names, it's adorable."

"I cannot disagree."
