Biggest livestock deal in Kingdom

A Saudi businessman bought a white goat for a whopping SR13 million (Dh12.5 million) in the biggest livestock deal in the oil-rich Gulf Kingdom.

The owner said his male goat fetched that sum because it is one of the rarest and “most beautiful” goat breeds in the region.

“It was the largest single deal to involve the sale of a sheep in the Kingdom,” Arar newspaper said in a report from the Saudi capital Riyadh.

“This should not be encouraged ... especially when more than two million Syrian refugees languish in makeshift tents in Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon,” said one commentator. “We should use the God-given money in a useful way and for the betterment of humanity,” said another.

I think it’s main selling features were the long eyelashes and short erect tail.

It doesn’t have the ability to say no, and you already know it’s a nag already.
