RTL Today - Video - goat to be kidding: Goats take charge of small town in Wales as people leave the streets

A resident of Llandudno in Wales has provided rather encompassing coverage of the goats' adventure as they bid to take over the town.

What started as one video of a man surprised to find a herd (tribe, trip, drove, flock?) of goats casually devouring some shrubbery in the middle of town quickly escalated into a police chase (well..), and several days of tracking the goats as they grew bolder and ventured further.

Turns out last week's Wurst about cows returning to Luxembourg City may not have been as outlandish as we thought..

We'll let Andrew Stuart's vivid description of each scene do the rest of the explaining from here.

2.09am - it begins

Video 1

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

2.11am - further investigations

Video 2

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

2.13am - questionable social distancing

Video 3

They weren’t moving from their midnight feast. And they were probably going to run riot on the town, what with nobody being about due to the lockdown. I also wasn’t sure if they were keeping the required 2m apart. pic.twitter.com/Yn69JWDV8p

2.16am - calling the coppers

Coppers

So I gave @NWPolice a call to tell them a load of kids (geddit?) were running riot (I didn’t actually say that... sadly). They said they’d pass it on to officers. pic.twitter.com/k1q28cfUi4

2.19am - police arrive at the scene

Video 4

And they sent a patrol car down who turned on the big red lights. So, I’m sorry if the goats got arrested. But they were being very naughty.

Also, close the gates behind you on the Orme.

And stay 2m apart at all times.
