They stare them to death.
Movie is an adaption of the book. From Wikipedia: The Men Who Stare at Goats is a book by Jon Ronson about the U.S. Army's exploration of New Age concepts and the potential military applications of the paranormal. The title refers to attempts to kill goats by staring at them.

I'd watch George Clooney read the phone book.  We'll probably Netflicks it.

My goats could probably outstare me and I'd end up dog food for the Maremma's.

If my husband thought he could OFF the goats by staring at them, he'd probably do THAT more than go fishing! Today I:
1. got up at the crack o', made homemade pancakes and breakfast.
2. Fed critters, loaded baby rabbits in wagon, took daughter to pumpkin patch for 4-H petting zoo duty there 10-2.
3. Ran errands to get 00 gel caps for 4-H meeting this afternoon, hot cocoas for FREEZING 4-Hers, and lunch for daughter.
4. After petting zoo, Raced home, did a crappy job cleaning up, made cookies, hosted 4-H rabbit meeting, hosted 4-H meat goat meeting immediately following.
5. Taught kids how to give prenatal sq shots, moved buck and doeling to new pen, realized doeling could LEAP off roof of shed over fence. RE-moved goats.
6. Vaccinated horses and moved them back to pasture down the road, taking tallest 4-Hers with me to gather apples in pasture so ponies don't founder.
7. Came home to see my MIL in driveway, realized that SHE had called during meeting to tell me she was coming out to bring daughter new jeans; oops.
8. Entertained MIL, talked genealogy, then visited neighbor who showed up with cookies (I'm eating them ALL after dinner!)
9. Put poor petting zoo bunnies away after realizing they were still in their carrier in the middle of the living room floor from 4-H meeting.
10. Fed animals, gathered eggs (reminder to STARE at ravens a lot-I think they're stealing my eggs!), brought in laundry off line and stopped to get the last squash before the slugs do.
11. Snapped beans, and am cooking dinner while I write this. IF MY HUSBAND SAYS ONE, AND I MEAN ONE THING ABOUT THE MESSY HOUSE when he gets home from a day of fishing with one of the guys I teach with, I AM GOING TO SIT AND STARE AT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the goats actually have very little to do with the film. Of course, no goats were harmed in the making of it, but it does appear that the movie is pretty much gonzo, so I will definitely see it.

I just spent the last week at John Hopkins with my DD. I saw this movie ad come on and I kid (no pun intended) you not, I laughed until I cried. Come on... Men who stare at goats...It's hilarious. I did not know that they were attempting to kill them of course. That is not funny. But I swear all I saw was a guy staring down a goat, the goat falls over and then the title..."Men who stare at goats". I could not stop laughing, it has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. I just may have been a little high on stress because nobody else in the hospital room seemed to find it funny...whatever.

My single sister Alice is a game warden, loves to hunt pheasant with her doggies, and manages a NWR in So. Dak/Minn.........I'm not sure how she feels about goats though, and dang, if you wanted to shoot a pesky deer on your own property she'd arrest you, yes, even if you were kin, if you didn't have proper paperwork...she is one tough cookie (BTW she's got a boyfriend who flies waterfowl surveys and is like 7 feet tall I think) But hey, thanks for the compliment!
