A fainting goat is a breed of domestic goat whose external muscles freeze for roughly 10 seconds when the goat is
startled. Though painless, this generally results in the animal collapsing on its side. The characteristic is
caused by a hereditary genetic disorder called myotonia congenita. Older goats sometimes learn to lean against
something to prevent their falling over, and often they continue to run about in an awkward, stiff-legged shuffle.

Even as women and men around the world celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day on March 8th, violence against women remains a global epidemic. The domestic violence statistics for just one ordinary day in the United States are staggering: on average, three women will be murdered by an intimate partner i, more than 70,000 domestic violence victims will receive services from domestic violence programs and another 10,000 will be turned away for lack of resources, and domestic violence hotlines will receive more than 22,000 calls. Around the world, the statistics are equally horrific: one in three women will be raped, beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime.
