Love thwarts plan to turn goat into soup

Date Posted: 2008-08-30

A Nakijin Village resident adopted a couple goats several years ago, training them to pull him around in a wagon.

When one of the goats was killed by a wind dog, Masao Miyagi found his relationship with the survivor, a goat he named Ryun Run, quickly changing. He still used the goat to ferry him around in the wagon, but the 56-year-old Miyagi began making plans to make goat soup with the animal.

Those plans changed as his affection for the goat grew, and became more complex when Ryun Run picked up a boyfriend a few months ago. “I love her and she loves me,” Miyagi says, “so I can’t eat her. If she and her boyfriend have a baby, I can’t say yet what to do.” Goats are a common meat in Okinawan cuisine.
