They are now acording to the article eating wild fruits, leaves, roots and corn husks. I think that this is what normally the goats would eat. That is what I was pointing out, that the people are compeating with the goats for food. I didn't think that you thought that animals could survive with no nutrition! But it sounds like they are pretty much stripping the land bare of anything edible.

You do have a good point. And maybe I was being short sighted by my original comment, as I am not aware of individual situations going on in Africa.

And believe me, I do sympathize with any starving human being.

I just could not make any sense out of someone having to sell a constant, renewable food source for one that is not.
