The Gruesome Goat’s Tongue: Greatest Torture of All Time?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Goat’s face with tongue out, ready to torture!

History is full of inventive, albeit disturbing, methods of making people squirm, confess, or simply regret their life choices. Among these is the lesser-known but utterly bizarre practice of ‘goat’s tongue torture’. While not as famous as the rack or the iron maiden, this method earns its place in the macabre hall of fame for its simplicity and grotesque effectiveness.

A Progressive Torture

Goat’s tongue torture wasn’t about slicing or dicing—it was about licking. Yes, licking. Here’s how it worked: the victim’s feet were tied, and the soles were coated with a layer of salt. Enter the star of the show, the goat. Known for their insatiable appetite and surprisingly rough tongues, goats were encouraged to lick the salty soles of the victim’s feet.

At first, this may have seemed amusing or even ticklish to the poor soul tied up. After all, what’s the harm in a little goat affection? But as the licking persisted, the sensation quickly turned from ticklish to torturous. The goat’s tongue, rough like sandpaper, would begin to scrape away the skin, leaving the sensitive tissue underneath raw and exposed. Pain replaced laughter, and the torture grew unbearable.
