    Cyrus Fakroddin and his pet goat Cocoa exit the subway in New York.

    Cyrus Fakroddin and his 3-year-old Alpine Pygmy mixed goat, Cocoa, frequently take trips into Manhattan to enjoy the city. Fakroddin raised Cocoa since she was 2-months-old and treats her like a human.

    "She doesn't like goats, she doesn't like farms, she likes the people and the city." Fakroddin said.

    These pictures were taken on April 7, but made available to msnbc.com today.

    Soooo.... are only FEMALE goats allowed to enter this contest? If that IS, in fact, the case - does that make the whole thing more or less disturbing? Would these unabashed admirers of barnyard beauty and ingen-ewes take offense to the idea of the same sort of contest were it to be held for MALE  …
