In a peculiar twist during the global coronavirus pandemic, a group of wild mountain goats has taken control of Llandudno, a quaint town in North Wales. As people remain indoors to combat the spread of the virus, this carefree troop of goats seems to have no regard for social distancing. They’ve descended from the nearby Great Orme country park, where around 120 of these mischievous creatures typically reside, and are now enjoying their newfound freedom in the deserted streets.
Local resident, Jamie Thompson, was one of the first to notice the goats wreaking havoc outside his home. From munching on hedges to trampling through gardens, their antics have caught the attention of the local authorities. Thompson even called the police when the goats began causing chaos, but the officers simply shined their lights, hoping the goats would scatter. Unfortunately, their efforts fell flat as the goats continued to roam freely.
Traditionally, these goats tend to avoid human interaction, only making rare forays into town when the weather is blustery. However, with the lockdown leaving the streets eerily empty, the goats have ventured further than ever before. As Thompson noted, “With no people around, they feel completely at ease.”
Residents are now observing the goats from their windows, as the dual threats of a pandemic and a goat invasion keep them indoors. In these challenging times, lighthearted stories about these furry invaders have become a welcome distraction for many. As communities face restrictions and uncertainty, we could all use a bit of joy—even if it comes from a herd of goats.
