A little while back, I was attacked by some dogs on my street. Staying calm and hurling a big stone at them saved me that night. My oversized bracelet slipped from my wrist, and I clutched two big stones until I got home. I’ve been wary of those dogs ever since.
I went out to get two gala sausages this night, and I passed by them. My mind was running through all the dog training videos I had watched on YouTube. I tried to be as calm as I could as I walked past them on my way to the shop and back.
A few metres from my house, I saw my neighbour’s goats in front of me. One of them stood out. It was standing with its side to me. The street light from another neighbour’s house made it appear like a silhouette. It turned its head to look at me, and I stopped.
I felt sad. I wasn’t afraid of it. It had never attacked me. It was a living, breathing thing, and I would usually think of pepper soup when I looked at it, but not now.
Now I wished it had the freedom of the dogs. The dogs would never be eaten by their owners.

Wait, the dog ate the goat? (Please say no)
Oh, no it did not the goat. The goal will be eaten by its owners but the dog does not share that fate.
Oh ohhhhhhh never mind, you compared the goats to the dogs right? The freedom.
But omo, e get some people wey go chop their dogs o (lemme not talk)
But I’m a bit confused, the relationship between the goat, the dog and your freedom, I don’t get it.
I would think of eating the goat whenever I looked at it, but it never did anything to endanger me. It was a peaceful animal that just wanted to eat and cruise but its fate is to be killed for food. On the other hand, the dogs were a nuisance on that corner of the street but will not suffer the same fate.
Perhaps we can send a letter to those people concerning the healthy benefits of eating dogs đ… They’ll convert đ
(Please ignore this)
