Are you sure about the skinning alive part? We've sold kids to Hispanics in years past and I've heard of some getting in trouble because they keep the kids in a garage until ready to butcher, and the kids make a lot of noise. But I've never known anyone to skin them alive. We've also sold to some Nigerian college students
who prefer larger goats. They would butcher them at our farm and were as humane as you can be about it. We kept the kids inside until they were finished. No it's never pleasant, but something must be done with extra goats, and this is one way to sell them.
