There are proper and humane ways to lift a curse. Billy Goat Sianis used to say “Be kind to animals, and be kind to me.” His curse certainly can’t be broken by butchering the animals he loved. Take a look around our tavern, and you’ll see pictures joy animals brought to Billy- goats, cats, ducks, even an elephant!
