SAN DIEGO — A herd of working goats walked off the job Friday in San Francisco, blocking traffic as they wandered in the city streets.
On Friday morning, the herd had been grazing on a hillside in Francisco Park in the Russian Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, clearing out poison oak and other plants to help reduce fire risk, said Tamara Barak Aperton, a spokesperson with San Francisco Recreation and Parks.
At around 8 a.m., park staff saw that the 40 or so goats had escaped their fenced area and were "running around where they shouldn't have been," Barak Aperton said in an interview with The Times.
