Women (and a goat) chat at a typical shop on the streets of Harar.
Goat #3 (Chewing Chat), Harar, Ethiopia, 2009
This goat is partaking of the leaves of chat (qat), the favorite past-time and narcotic of choice of the Harari people. Only the young soft leaves are chewed to gain the narcotic effects (followed by a period of stimulation), so the rest are thrown into the street for the goats, with predictable results in terms of alternatively sedated and stimulated goats.
