A family farm in Pennsylvania has come under scrutiny for offering $5 snuggle sessions with baby goats The Steinmetz family farm has been targeted by a local vegan activist group for promoting cuddles with their animals but not advocating for a vegan lifestyle The farm says it has seen a pronounced uptick in 'personal attacks' since sharing the story of their farm more publicly

Vegan extremists in Pennsylvania are targeting a local farm for an allegedly exploitative service it offers: goat snuggling.

During an appearance on Fox Business's Varney & Co., Justin Steinmetz of the Fleetwood, Pennsylvania Steinmetz Family Farm said that he has been facing a litany of 'personal attacks' since sharing his story.

'Because the news coverage has gone out, and we've had a couple more like personal attacks on the farm in the last few days,' he said, armed with two baby goats.

He said that because his family farm is using the baby goats for monetary gain, animal rights activist Sheryl Petrillo has targeted the farm and is promoting her opinion that his behavior is exploitative.

The Steinmetz family charges a mere $5 for and unlimited goat snuggling session.

Host Stuart Varney asked Steinmetz: 'Are the vegans still trying to shut you down because we put you on TV Saturday?' The Steinmetz farm had previously been featured by the network.

Steinmetz replied: 'Out of nowhere, yesterday I had the Children and Youth Services come to my house worried for my children's safety because people are here snuggling the goats, and we haven't vetted the people properly.'

'It's pretty ridiculous,' he said. 'There are attacks coming left and right.'

You can always spot a vegan...they all look like they’ve just escaped from a North Korean prison camp.

How do you tell a vegan?

You don’t. They’ll tell you.

Vegan activist group?

Did you ever notice how some groups just can’t do their thing quietly? Faggots, dykes, trans, negroes, vegans and more. They need to STFU or we’ll need to make them go away … permanently.

A friend of mine showed me a skit by the Babylon Bee where BB showed their joke headlines, followed by real events which matched them.

Here’s an article describing the same type of thing:

I think that goat snuggling is legal.

However, goat canoodling is highly illegal in most jurisdictions.
