I dont have a dog in this fight.....But, Why the Navy got goats on their boats?

Livestock on ships goes back way before the Navy mascot.

Before refrigeration, sailors often took livestock to sea so they could have fresh food during a long voyage. Pigs and chickens were popular. Pigs are hearty animals and will eat almost anything, so they could survive on long passages at sea and settle well in new places.
