This man seems very upset by the death of his goat. So upset he has taken off all his clothes. It's hard to say why. There is no explanation at the base of the statue and there are no goat farms in the vicinity. Presumably a very famous early goat of Auckland died on this spot and the owner was moved to commemorate his grief (and the goat) with this marble tribute.
The statue of the goat is outside the Winter Garden in the Auckland Domain.
The male nude in the statue also brings to mind the old Arabic saying about women, men and goats, but perhaps I won't explore that here.

They could be lovers.
That's pretty much where I was going with the Arab proverb. There's a good one about cucumbers too.
Go to school.
Sorry, I forgot you don't like vegetables.
One day done.
No, I don't like vegetables.
