December 19th would be a perfect time to allow the goat to be burned. Jet fuel doesn't melt straw goats.
I am contesting the results and I demand an investigation into @Diggy's wheelings and dealings for this organization.
They should turn it into a game like the old It's A Knock-Out (aka Jeux Sans Frontières), with people in comically oversized shoes and ridiculous clothes split into two teams, one trying to burn the goat down, the other throwing cold water over the fire.
See, see, there's dedicated goat defenders! You know when they won't bother, thus making for an opportune time to strike? December 24th! ****ing ****ity **** ****
I call bull on the idea that once it gets burned, people cancel their trips. If you're the kind of person who does a special trip to see a giant goat made of straw, you're the kind of person who would also make the same trip to see the burned out hulk of a giant goat made of straw. I would be more likely to go on the second trip actually.
Speaking of burning, there is a town in Pennsylvania called Centralia where an underground coal fire still burns to this day. The 7 souls that still live in that town would probably love to watch this attraction burn.
the goat seems much more well lit than usual. might discourage would-be arsonists, but those lights probably give off quite a bit of heat...
I guess goat burning is going to have to become a more specialized job requiring actual expertise, like the thieves in movies who crack safes. No longer can any old amateur pull off a caper like this.
