If I recall correctly, it seems that I've read goats without head coverings are considered "uncovered meat" just asking for trouble. Then again, they may have been talking about women of the human variety. Not sure. As far as punishing goats for adultery, I do believe 4 witness' are required. I'm not sure if the testimony of pigs, cows and other farm animals will be accepted? In any case, excellent questions -- It will be nice to get some clarifications on this.
Chaos, fantastic link as usual. Rebecca, I too would like some clarification on this issue from the Muslims here - are goats asking to be raped because they are immodest? Also, as Muslims don't eat pigs they must consider them to be above cows - is the testimony of a pig in a case of a goat's adultery worth twice that of a cow?
Another excellent question; would a wild pig, ie a Warthog, be worth the same in terms of testimony as a domesticated boar?
That would probably depend on the sex of the pig, my guess is that you would need two sow warthogs to equal one boar warthog in regards to testimony.
Actually, sheep, goats,pigs, and camels are normally witnesses for the defense, even if the camel in question has been anally raped by the defendant. Their lack of ability to speak means they have no choice but to keep quiet. Now if the same Muslim man sodomizes a young child, so long as he's married to said infant, I believe he is within his rights to simply beat the child until it remains silent. If he is not married to the child, he could be killed as an adulterer, though I suspect a man guilty of adultry is let off with a light sentence like flogging. Of course this is all quite a bit of trouble for a piece of ass, which I suspect is one of the many reasons why Ass(Donkey) is sometimes preferable when looking for some ass(to get laid).
How old are you? They don't have schools or teach history in your country? Kind of sad don't you think?
