Survey Results Announced

 

Our fifteen-month survey and research project into Petting Zoo Trauma has drawn to a close. After reviewing and analysing all data, we have reached the following results.

 

1. How old were you when you were attacked and how old are you now?

Age at attack ranged upwards from 3 years old, with the highest concentration between the ages of 8 and 23. Current age varied as well, with respondents between the ages of 11 and 158. From the report made by the 158 year old, one can infer that Goat Trauma has been around for a number of years.

 

2. What was the duration of your attack?

This was perhaps the most surprising section of the results. The answers ranged from 0.1 hour to 999 hours, with an average attack duration of 33.546 hours. The majority of attacks were in the one to two hour range.

 

3. Was your attack witnessed by friends of family members?

The overwhelming number of attacks were witnessed.

 

3a. If Yes, did they help?

Unfortunately, most witnesses chose not to help.

 

3b. Did they laugh?

Yes, they did. This makes us sad.

 

3c. Are they still laughing?

They certainly are.

 

4. Do you suspect that goats are involved with Global Warming?

It would seem so.

 

5. What was the color and approximate size of your attacker?

Multi-colored goats are more dangerous than other colors.

 

Although the size categories may seem odd, they were the most frequently used by respondents. There seems to be an unusually large number of giant goats roaming the world.

 

6. Where you wearing man-made fibers at the time of your Trauma?

The answer to this question backs up previous findings that goats prefer synthetic fibers. If you must enter a goat infested area, wear only natural fibers.

 

7. Were you ostracized as a child because of your Goat Trauma?

A significant majority of Traumatees were ostracized. We are working to develop more Goat Trauma Awareness and Sensitivity training programs to help combat this.

 

8. Have you received therapy for your Trauma?

More respondents received therapy than not, but not as many as we would like or as probably should.

 

8a. If Yes, what kind (e.g. talk, play, shock, sex, etc.)?

8b. How would you describe your mental state before therapy?

8c. How would you describe your mental state after therapy?

These question also resulted in an interesting variety of answers. Shock and sex therapies predominated, sometimes separately, sometimes together. Based on the answers to questions 8b and 8c, most therapies noted by respondents did not appear to work. More research into recovery programs is needed.

 

9. Do you believe that goats have WMD?

 

9a. Do you believe that goats have WDM?

 

9b. Do you believe that goats have PCP?

 

9c. Do you believe that goats have DMW?

 

10. What do you think your response would be at witnessing someone's Goat Trauma taking place?

We wish the 'Help' column was taller.

 

11. Have you brought or will you bring small children to petting zoos yourself?

 

12. Do you think your attacker was under mind control by Ross Perot?

 

12a. Do you think Ross Perot is being controlled by goats?

 

13. Do you feel that you have recovered from your Trauma?

 

13a. If not, do you feel you ever will?

 

14. Do you feel that your Goat Trauma has limited you in any way?

 

15. What advice would you give to a recent Goat Traumatee?

Here is a selection of answers to this question. These answers will be used in the development of treatment programs.
