l_joo 2925 reviews

Picture is a goat being tied by the our van driver and friends, I was standing beside them watching this, it was the viilager's goat, they probably want to carry the goat to another town to sell or what? Anyway, after tying this goat, another goat has to put underneath our seat, a goat is tied under my seat, the legs are in contact with my legs when the van moving and the baby goat was with the owner beside me, very cute animal. On the way, the goat crying so loud, passengers laughing, here it cry, there they laugh....all the way to Minapin.

The goat was tied up there many hours and was crying but who cares. Not only on goat, please read the other tip, continue.......
