Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
They're all just running around a field and then every so often one of them will just go ass over teakettle and lie there for a moment and then jump up and race off to catch up with the others again.
It's probably taking a moment to think, "Thank crap I'm not a mountain goat."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm thinking that Darwinian selection would weed that particular trait out of mountain goats really quickly.

IIRC, fainting goats were an accident of selective breeding, not a natural mutation. They're mostly bred now to be sold to sheep farms with coyote problems.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
What, so the coyotes get the goats instead of the sheep? That's appalling. Unless it's so the coyotes can't hunt for laughing, which would be my problem in that situation.

Yup.
[eta that they apparently also make good eating. So they're not all being used as wolf-bait.]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wool makes me itch and lamb is stinky. Can I have fainting sheep to save my goat herd?
