I'm honestly not sure why it exists on EF. I can't imagine they sell too many, but it does make me giggle. I'd imagine that most people would be buying this more for the giggle factor (I keep thinking about buying it just to put under the blankets in the bed to scare the boyfriend, but I'm too lazy to blow it up.). It made me a bit uncomfortable when I first saw it, but it's meant more as something to giggle at then use.

oh, this is funny. i wouldn't say it sexualizes animals at all.

it's just off the old farm boy joke that has been around since the 1800s or maybe later....

It absolutely does. But then again, we seem to sexualize everthing these days and no one with a voice wants to speak up about it.

I just see it as a gag gift, and nothing more

I don't mean this in a confrontational way, but I think you're making more out of it than needs-be. It's listed as a "Gag" and "Novelty" and "Party favor." Sure there are the rare few that would use this as a sexual device, but there are people who use hairspray bottles and remote controls as sexual devices. I find that those people are in the minority. As long as no one is explicitly describing their sexual experiences with the goat (or the pig, or the cow that are also for sale), they are not in violation of the EOC.

I do appreciate your sensitivity to animal rights and your abhorrence to sexualizing animals. And I do agree with Yoda in that there is an epidemic of silence in our society to speak out against offensive things, and in that I applaud you, but I think there is a better way to address your offense at this product. Perhaps sending an email to the appropriate person, perhaps Victoria, would be a more effective way of seeing your needs met. Personally, I tend to simply not look at the things that are "offensive" to me. (i.e., like going to websites that sell completely outrageous (to me) types of sex toys.)

No and I also don't agree that we as a society sexualize everything. Or at least, we don't without in the same breath demanding it be repressed. This is probably a topic I should stay away from, I've already railed on my sister this morning. And seeing as I like it here, I should probably keep my opinion to myself.

I said "goat" it's a lamb. I forgot. sorry... answer's the same though.

It's true--it does say in the EoC that animals will not be sexualized but as others have pointed out, this is not the case here.

1. It's a gag gift and not meant to be taken seriously. Though I'm sure someone has used this in a serious and sexual manner.

2. It's not a real animal. The statement in the EoC is meant to dissuade people from talking about acts of bestiality with real animals.

Depends On weather or not you have a sense of humor.

As previously mentioned it is listed as a gag gift. I thought it was hilarious when I opened the page and saw it. I don't think many people would actually use it. If they did it does teeter close to the line but ultimately its a piece of plastic. I don't see much difference between using it and a human like blow up doll. Do people actually use those anyway? Never mind different topic.

I don't like it either.

I don't like it, but it's a gag gift. I'm amazed at how spirited this discussion is. :/

Passionate people here, I love it.

I agree with others it's a line Eden shouldn't cross. - Gag or not. Even in the sex community, there are some lines that shouldn't be crossed.

It's a gag gift. Some might use it like that, some might not. Just like the toys out there modeled after horse and dog dicks. Hell I buy and use them (the dicks because I am female obviously, lol). Silicone horse cock is awesome, applies good pressure. But is it bestiality? No, you're not committing the act with a live animal, just a piece of silicone. And this toy being talked about is just basically an inflated bag with stuff drawn on it to make you think it's an animal.

While some may not like it, it's a niche out there, and others will capitalize on said niche.

no. concider this a gag. just got it for my hubbie as a stocking stuffer and he liked it. made us laugh. cant really get any animal loving from this sheep. wholes are too small.

I'm sorry, I found it hard to focus because that product has got me so fricking horny for lambs.
