Bangladesh has now a satirical Facebook page much like Pigeons of New York [3], which is itself a parody site of the famous Humans of New York [4] project. Goats of Bangladesh [5] is only about six months old, but it boasts of almost 10,000 followers. Sahil Bhalla of Scroll.in interviewed [2] one of the page's administrators, who preferred to remain anonymous.

[What is] the idea behind the page?

We were bored one day during Eid and decided to take pictures of goats with a DSLR camera. After seeing the outcome of the pictures, one of us decided we would open a parody page called “Goats of Bangladesh” where we would mimic the style of posts made by Humans of New York in a mocking way.
