Its a "tradition" here in Sweden. The goat is bound to burn. Its illegal but People do it anyways.... its tradition.

I think it was a 51 year old man from the US that killed the goat last year :)

I think it will burn again the day before christmas (23) anyone up for some bidding?

Oh FFS I thought it was a real goat >_<

Edit - Hey the flames kinda look like they're forming into the shape of a goat in a couple of those pics :eek:
 
That's about ****ing time :D!
I always hated that goat, even if i live in Gothenburg. It really gives me the creeps looking at it and hearing you people saying that "someone" torched it down... DONT YOU UNDERSTAND!!!??? IT'S WITCHCRAFT!! THE GOAT WILL KILL US ALL!! Ahhhh...

*Runs as fast as i can with eyes shut in to a brick wall...*

Bet this tradition started when a miniature "goat" hanging in a christmastree coucht fire from a candle and someone made it a tradition. But it could als be just another piromaniac that likes to burn large things.....
