NO. Contrary to popular belief, goats don't, and cannot, eat tin cans, or any other kind of metal. If they do, it usually means death. The metal can get stuck in their internal organs and cause massive internal injury, including gangrene. If you have a goat that swallowed metal, get them to a vet pronto.
