You may have noticed that for the past week or so, Goat of the Day has featured animals from The Haven Zoo, outside of Atlanta, Georgia. The Haven was founded by JohnieSue Thurman, an anthropologist who studied human and primate interactions in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and has over 14 years of experience working with animals. She also designed and conducted a research project that analyzed zoos in 15 different countries on four different continents to understand how each zoo cared for animals as well as making information about conservation available to the public. It is really inspiring that there are people like JohnieSue who set out with a dream dedicated to the greater good, and make it happen. Check out ways to support JohnieSue’s mission and/or volunteer.

Sometimes in our fast paced world, it can be hard to allow yourself to relax. Finding a place of calm, let alone maintaining a general state of calm can be really difficult between all of our many deadlines and obligations. That is why, today I am inspired by Freddie the Llama from The Haven Zoo. Freddie is not a goat, but is today’s honorary goat of the day for his totally chill attitude and cool demeanor. Whether he is enjoying some sunshine or hanging with his caprine friends, this camelid knows how to go with the flow.
