Despite Spain and Morocco ending their standoff over Parsley Island, not everybody is happy.

A Moroccan woman, Rajmi Lachili, 70, is seeking compensation from the Spanish army, saying 10 of her goats jumped into the sea because they were “depressed” when soldiers invaded the tiny, uninhabited island last week.

Many people claim that the Spaniards ate the animals. Mrs Lachili claimed that her flock has occupied the island for decades.

The Spaniards ate the goats...Give her a TV and a solar generator...

Considering the damage they do world-wide more goats ought to jump into the sea.

What's next? Bombs strapped to goats? Set them loose and they might come to your house and blow up the garden.

If only Al Queda would follow the lead of those goats...
