I kind of have always naries. The horses trans-
decrease our use of chemi-
cals, we may need to go back
to some of these hardier
breeds that are less prone to
parasites and all kinds of ill-
ness,” Cindy Carroccio says.
"Also, it’s a way to
demonstrate that the fancy
new kinds of animals we
have now came from some-
where," she says. "There’s a
reason to keep that genetic
pool. We may need it later.”
The Carroccios are at
odds, however, with some
animal rights activists who
don’t approve of breeding
Fainting goats. The goats’
muscles lock up and the ani-
mals fall over when startled,
because of a genetic flaw.
It’s because of their frailty
that they’re an easy mark for
predators and are included in
the AMBC census.
Carroccio, a member of
AMBC, counters that the
goats serve all sorts of
purposes.
