The GoatGate incident as it has come to be known was truly a public relations nightmare. Using a freshly slaughtered animal as part of a party game is rarely a good idea, and its bound to incite animal rights activists to action. That might not even have been the biggest error itself. Sony seemingly has no standards and practices officers to head off these problems. Thats how the information got to the public in the first place.
Nowhere in the line did anyone stop and say wait a minute this is obviously not a good idea. Nobody at the party stopped to think about how asinine what they were doing truly was. Nobody questioned whether photographing the macabre spectacle was a good idea. Nobody questioned whether printing the pictures was a good idea let alone having them in a magazine. Nobody even seemingly considered their defense.
Seriously giving the animal back to the butcher doesn't make it better. Especially when you consider that a dozen people had their hands in it. How sanitary can the animal be at that point. I suppose the lesson is never eat in Greece. The butcher probably resold the carcass that day. Anyway it was a bad idea in just how disgusting it really was.
