Since British Prime Minister Boris Johnson imposed a nationwide lockdown and urged people to stay at home to prevent the spread of Covid-19, residents of the coastal town of Llandudno, in North Wales, UK, have been taking it very seriously. But it seems that goats are ignoring this ban, and they are even "plotting to invade" the town.
This herd of cheeky goats, totaling about 120, is a Great Orme Kashmiri goat breed that lives in the Great Orme limestone area northwest of Llandudno, UK. Previously, they rarely dared to come near this town, if they did, they only lingered on the outskirts of the town on bad weather days. Normally at this time of year, the goats would evacuate to the coastal land to avoid the stormy weather, but as soon as they realized that the Welsh town was becoming strange and devoid of humans, the herd immediately flocked to the town and frolicked as if there were no one around.
The herd of goats that invaded the town were of the Great Orme Kashmiri breed.
The first time the goats "invaded" the town in large numbers, the locals found them "cute" but worried about security and order, so they called the police to clear the goats to their area. However, just a few days later, these stubborn goats returned to the town and seemed more dangerous than before. This time, the goats not only gathered leisurely, but also wandered everywhere and held grand parties with flowers and plants, eating the leaves off the bushes around the road. They even climbed the walls to pick flowers in people's front gardens, some even peeked through the windows.
Back and much "more powerful"!
The goats seemed to find this a great opportunity to explore the town, something they had never dared to do before. They seemed to enjoy city life, running around the park in the mornings, strolling along the streets in the afternoons and chewing on the hedges.
Despite the fact that the herd of goats is attempting to “invade” the Welsh town, most residents seem to be quite amused by the adorable “invasion”. Many have lived in the area for decades and have never seen anything like it, calling it an “inspiring” event. They are excited to see the mountain goats take over and look after the town for humans.
Some people find it a form of entertainment, instead of watching Discovery on TV, they just put an armchair by the window and relax watching the goats smell the flowers and catch butterflies outside. Some people feel very satisfied when they no longer have to pay for a lawn trimming service around the house, all the goats take care of it, clean and tidy.
It seems that the goats are now officially recognized as residents of the town. Fortunately, these adorable goats have brought unexpected joy to the locals, helping them escape the boredom of being quarantined at home due to the pandemic.
