The location where the video was shot has not been revealed by the Twitter user. He, however, said in the Twitter thread that the footage was shot during the Eid Ul Adha when the goat was brought to be sold in the market.
“Even animals who can’t speak have feelings and emotions. Despite not being able to speak, they love their owner dearly. When separated from the owner, their soul hurts,” the user further said in one of the tweets.
The 21-second video shows the goat putting its head on the owner’s shoulder and crying like a human. The gesture left the owner and bystanders emotional.

Twitter users were interested in knowing the fate of the animal.
“Tears …Did you still sell her? I hope not,” commented one of the users. “I really cried after watching this video,” said another.
Fellow Twitter users held back the tears in the replies, with one admitting defeat, saying: “I really cried after watching this video.”
Another emotional response read: “I watched this video so many times. That’s why I don’t attach myself to domestic animals like pets. This is a painful goodbye.”
Like human, it appears that goats too feel empathy after a study published in the Royal Society revealed that animals can distinguish between different human facial expressions.
Additionally, they were found to “generally prefer happy faces” regardless of gender.
The study concluded: “These findings suggest that the ability of animals to perceive human facial cues is not limited to those with a long history of domestication as companions, and therefore may be far more widespread than previously believed.”
