They’re baaa-ck!

A supportive (and humorous) article from NBC Sports:
During The Olympics, Crazy Canadians To Collect Cloven-Hoofed Critters For Charity
Joel Nagtegaal, a kooky Canadian student living in British Columbia, has a wacky idea for how to best take advantage of Canada’s assumed dominance in several events during the Winter Olympics in Vancouver next month and put it to a good cause…
Sunny Dhillon of the Canadian Press wrote a very informative article that was posted on www.tsn.ca and www.ctv.ca today!
Goat for gold: Canadians donate goats

Nice one Guys! As the pilot who was a part of the goat distribution in Kenya back in July, and having seen the impact that your initiative had on that community, I can only encourage you keep going with what you are doing. A great idea all round!

This is great, I was so happy to hear about your site! Having visited Eastern Africa last summer, I can state first hand what a difference programs like this make. Let’s GOAT for Gold! – I plan to send one goat for every gold medal Canada wins, I’ve sent my first 4 in advance

Boys! so excited to see this happening again. Goats getting given away in Africa on the front page of Vancouver’s metro! You’ve started something really incredible
So if Canada wins gold in hockey does anyone want to split the twenty-something goats for each of the gold medals they get with me?!
