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.'

ALL DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL BUSY BODIES!

[billorites]

Goats are evil.

Put a sequined dress and a feather boa on the goat ...

My first thought when I read the title was this was from the Babylon Bee ! Nope.

Madness....But what is scary is the anger behind it. I always wondered how the French Revolution could happen, and citizens be so murderous of their own people..........

Vegans, like their fellow vegan Hitler, don’t love animals.

They merely hate humans.

Finally, a legitimate use for profanity. These vegan ‘swipes need to be told to fcuk off. Preferably while staring at the business end of a 12 ga.

Do the liberal vegans drive an electric battery car that uses child slave labor to dig rare battery elements? Democrats are so vile.

I thought BB as well. It would’ve been a great BB story. But now the liberals are acting out their own BB stories. An attempt to put BB out of business?

Goat snuggling is still illegal in most states isn’t it?

Goat snuggling is still illegal in most states isn’t it?

So is cat juggling.

So is cat juggling.

There's running with scissors if i ever saw it.
Juggling face shredders sounds like a democrat activity to me.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I wondered what the nature of these personal attacks were but the article made no mention. Harsh language? Vandalism?

[shoff]

You would think that the goat snugglers were putting the government grants to vegans in jeopardy.

“Goatgate”

[Vaquero]

So people are grooming goats now?

[moovova]

What kind of personal attacks? Physical or online?

[Varda]

Nailed it.

[Jewbacca]

I saw a guy juggle cats once as part of a show.

Navin Johnson, I think was his name.

Born in humble circumstances, though, and really made a killing in fashion eyewear, of all things.

Real jerk.
