He used special prosthetic limbs made to enable him to move around on all fours easily. This is the man so intrigued by goats he gave it all up to live with them in the mountains. Thomas Thwaites spent three days as part of a herd in the Swiss Alps while investigating goat behavior.
And the designer even considered having a fake stomach fitted to let him to eat grass, just like his four-legged friends.
He told Mashable;
"My goal was to take a holiday from the pain and worry of being a self-conscious being, able to regret the past and worry about the future."He said
"I was able to keep up for maybe a kilometer or so on this migration down the side of this kind of rocky mountain, and then they just left me in the dust.
"So I spent the rest of the day trying to catch up to them and eventually I found them again, and it was quite nice, in the actual soft grassy pasture bit.
"But actually heading down the mountain was petrifying. Because if I fell I didn’t have any hands to stop me from hitting a rock."
Thwaites has written a book about his experiences, called ‘GoatMan; How I Took a Holiday from Being Human’.

You sound very ignorant,he isn't the first or last. Haven't you heard of participant observation? I guess you haven't.it is because it involves animals that's why it seems silly to you.

He didn't become a goat forever, he took some days off to see the how it is like living as a goat has he loves goats. He has written a book and gotten a lot of pretige for this.what exactly have you done in your life? Yet you call it stupidity....better go and get something doing with your life

Don't worry when next you see a goat, take a look at his half pass eye then you will understand. Chimps ain't ugly when compared to goat except those that loss their hair due to infection
