another collector... or not?
Vermont probes man with 70 goats in house.
at first i thought this guy showed signs of being an animal collector, and thought the religion angle might be an interesting variance on the usual. however, after reading the article, i'm not so sure that he is a collector in the same sense as other collectors. collectors usually seem to start with stuff, then escalate to animals. if he'd started with a houseful of stuff, they would likely have mentioned that in the article, and it would also be fairly difficult to get 70 goats into the house.
also, he admits that he cannot care for the animals, and wishes to find someone who can. that's very uncharacteristic of animal collectors, who usually live in deep denial about their ability to care for their animals.
this instead sounds like a case of someone who has become a victim of their own belief system.

Does Mykull read this blog? If not, am I the only person with a mental image of a guy getting 70 goats inserted into his body, at home?

the inadvertently-funny-meter on that headline is pretty high, i have to admit...
OR... envision the entire state of vermont, inserting a houseful of 70 goats into a man's nether parts.
or don't. i'd suggest you don't, actually.
