   Goats in cartoons, of course, are infamous for eating tin cans. Among   
   other unlikely things.   
      
   Since most kids (I should think) see those cartoons, it can be (I   
   would think) hard to distinguish cartoon goat behavior from real goat   
   behavior. I certainly have no direct knowledge of real goats in   
   proximity to tin cans.
