Goats go gallivanting in North Wales Posted by Adrian Brown on 1 April 2020 Llandudno, a town in North Wales, was taken over by a herd of Kashmiri goats amid the UK’s lockdown precautions. According to Al Jazeera, the goats usually wander freely nearby on a piece of land which extends into the Irish Sea. However, since Llandudno’s streets are deserted due to the UK’s strict social distancing measures, the animals have made their way into the town. When this is over I vote we let the goats keep Llandudno. It’s their city now. pic.twitter.com/ksWoZvWQ7Z — Eleanor Penny (@eleanorkpenny) March 31, 2020 Carol Marubbi, the towns councillor, said that the goats don’t often find themselves in Llandudno. She speculated, however, that they must have realised something odd was happening since no people were in sight. ‘They are curious, goats are, and I think they are wondering what’s going on like everybody else,’ Marubbi told the BBC. The herd, which wondered into the North Wales town, consisted of about 122 goats. Since they arrived, they have been feasting on the local vegetation and flowers, according to BBC. 🐐🚨 Monday goat update: they’re back. Again. And they dgaf.

Let me explain… first, I saw this from inside a dark pub (the one I live in currently). I thought I was seeing things.
