Wild Goose Chase

Animals here walk around however they please. Goats, sheep, pigs, and chickens wonder all around the village. I recently asked someone how they know which animal is theirs, explaining the idea of fences and such in the U.S. I was informed that they mark their animals so they know which is theirs. After reflecting for a moment, I asked, "What about when you want to find your animal? How do you know where it is?" "Oh," he replied,
"You just have to go around village looking for it. It takes a few days sometimes."

  1. Bandit would love it there where he could wander about as he pleased - should we send him over?

  2. Well I have to know how do they mark the animals...certainly not washable markers...have they ever heard of permanent markers?
