The Men Who Stare at Goats

[William F. Owen]

As a prospective student once long ago, Savelli showed me video of Special Forces soldiers using his techniques and documentation carried out by a UNC researcher of the effects of his "death stare" on the goats who were used by SF medics for training. All I seem to remember is that Savelli was proud in the changes of the heart rates in the goats (as documented) and he never claimed to have brought one down.

So staring at a goat, in a intense fashion, can distress the goat to the degree where it's heart rate increases? I think I can do that.

Alternatively, if the heart rate decreases perhaps the goat was merely getting bored!!
