Coronavirus: Goats take over empty streets of seaside town
BBC ^ | 03 31 2020 | Staff

A herd of goats has taken over a deserted town centre, eating hedges and flowers from gardens.

Usually, the wild herd of about 122 Kashmiri goats venture from the Great Orme into Llandudno during bad weather.

But town councillor Carol Marubbi believes the lack of people around because of coronavirus has drawn them down.

"They are curious, goats are, and I think they are wondering what's going on like everybody else," she said.

The goats - some of which have recently had kids - have been spotted nibbling flowers.

"There are very few visitors on the top [of the Orme], so they have come down in their droves," she said.

"There isn't anyone else around so they probably decided they may as well take over."

Nature will reclaim, and it will not take long.

Compare and contrast. Llandudno gets flower nibbling goats. New Orleans gets rats.

I grew up on the coast (Gin Ridge)...one morning there were three goats eating my mother’s rhododendron’s...

It was the high school science teachers goats that got loose.

Never liked that guy.

It’s like a scene out of “12 Monkeys” where zoo animals roam the city streets.
