How miserable is your life if you find hatred in snuggling a baby goat? Snuggling with baby goats may sound innocent enough, but a family farm in Pennsylvania says it will no longer offer the experience at two events, due to backlash and criticism from animal rights activists. Steinmetz Family Farm (based in Berks County) announced that it will no longer attend Bear Creek Mountain Resort’s first annual vegan festival on April 16, or the first annual Allentown VegFest at Cedar Beach Park on April 29.
Co-owner Justin Steinmetz, who runs the farm with his wife Lauren, posted a message on social media, saying his business and event organizers received a flood of “not so nice” messages from animal rights activists and vegan extremists, alleging that baby goat snuggling is animal exploitation. Steinmetz said he and his wife would rather pull out of the events than ruin them with potential protesters. Take a look at how offensive this activity is. (insert Eye Roll)
