A herd of mischievous goats have been given the freedom of the Llandudno after the local council ruled they cannot be legally contained. Conwy Council ruled that despite the goats' unruly behavior, it is landowners' responsibility to protect their properties from the roaming Great Orme Goats.
A report released by the council said that they would not confine the Kashmir goats using fencing for fear it will become solely responsible for the animals’ welfare. The report also detailed how shooting had in the past been considered as a way to control the goats in the 1990s.
According to North Wales Live the report reads: “A working group, comprising Council officers, Countryside Council for Wales, Mostyn Estates, and a local veterinary surgeon, considered the various options.
