Twenty years ago, a well-meaning person brought some goats to live on the small island of Alicudi, Italy. The goats later escaped and made their homes on the volcanic island, prancing happily through the mountains and reproducing rapidly over the next two decades.
The island is only 5 square kilometers and is home to only 100 people, but after 20 years of goat paradise, has a goat population of 600. That’s six goats for every person on the island!
While the goats are a major tourist attraction, their numbers have become overwhelming, with goats venturing into the gardens and homes of disgruntled residents.
