What part of “tradition” do you not understand? /s

Is that done in fun, or is it malicious? Seems like it’s be good to put a camera in that area to dissuade it if they want it to stop.
Oh, I’m sure the people who keep putting up the goat could do something if they really wanted to. By now, they probably would be disappointed if no one burned the thing.
from the BBC:
The goat has been attacked many times before but survived every festive period since 2016 under 24-hour security.
So they have been trying to prevent it burning. Fun or malicious is kind of a matter of perspective it seems.
Also:
In 2001, the goat was burned down by a 51-year-old visitor from Cleveland, Ohio in the United States, who spent 18 days in jail and was subsequently convicted and ordered to pay 100,000 Swedish kronor in damages. The court confiscated his cigarette lighter with the argument that he clearly was not able to handle it. He stated in court that he was no “goat burner”, and believed that he was taking part in a completely legal goat-burning tradition. After he was released from jail he returned to the US without paying his fine.[8][14][15][16][17]
My god, this timeline has the laziest fucking writers.

Before the annual Army-Navy football game Army tried to steal Naviy’s goat mascot, but they grabbed the wrong one.
I suggest filling it with that great Swedish invention, dynamite.
Make an extra backup and test it? Nah, why bother?
Man, that’s a lot of pr0n. RIP.
No wonder Porn Hub is down today.
In famous historic “What Could Go Wrong” news:
I mean, we’ve seen this before in the well-known documentary, The Transformers.
I suspect they will run into Sleestaks.
But what if digging this hole messes up the planet, and we have to get the molten core spinning again, like in the documentary The Core ?

If you want some sci-disaster-fu, what if tapping into geothermal resources depletes enough heat from the core that the core stops rotating and we lose our magnetic field (as well as plate tectonics ending).
The nerd in me things we should be shoving all radioactive material back into the core to keep it running. Maybe Bruce Willis can lead a misfit band of drillers to detonate plutonium bombs at the core of the earth to save mankind?
This is The Core with a few differences. The core stops rotating so Aaron Eckhart and buds need to drill down and restart it. Bet you didn’t know that the core of the world was sort of like a big cave!
This is great fun, especially when they fire a rocket down into the earth to reach the mantle.
