The coastal town of Llandudno in Wales became quite empty due to the UK being under the coronavirus lockdown
This pack of wild Kashmiri goats saw that as a perfect opportunity and claimed the streets for themselves to roam freely
They seem to be quite enjoying city life, strolling down the streets and munching on some hedges
Usually, the herd of around 120 goats only come down from the nearby Great Orme headland in extremely bad weather
However, it appears they couldn’t miss this opportunity since all the humans locked themselves up at home
Manchester Evening News video and web producer Andrew Stuart has been documenting the town takeover
I think I just got a group of goats in Llandudno arrested.

Let me explain... first, I saw this from inside a dark pub (the one I live in currently). I thought I was seeing things. So I took some video: pic.twitter.com/RtxYG6htLC
He’s taken over the role of “goat corespondent” as he calls himself now and is constantly posting new updates on Twitter
So I decided to see what was going on. They stopped on Trinity Square, and decided the hedges there looked very tasty (tbf, they probably are if you’re a goat) pic.twitter.com/Sz7WnoQGsd

Stuart said he originally called the police on the goats last week for not being the best citizens, starting riots, and snacking on hedges
And we certainly can’t blame him, after all, they were not even abiding by social distancing rules

However, it seems he later had a change of heart
Can’t believe I’m writing this... they’re back (again) pic.twitter.com/fwMLPa53ue

This shows what it’s all about. They’re scared of me (a human) in this. They don’t like people. They usually only come down from the Great Orme when it’s windy, and only the back streets at the top of Mostyn Street. Now lockdown means it’s empty, they’re going further than ever. pic.twitter.com/roZpNm61Qh
