Runaway goats in San Francisco were probably ... freaked out

Four or five goats scrambled across San Francisco last week, captured in videos posted on social media. So how do goats fare in urban settings? (screengrab by NPR via u/kevin1760/Reddit)

As the editor of a blog called "Goats and Soda" (see our name origin story here), I am always interested when goats make the news. Plus, I'm a Capricorn.

So naturally I was curious about the four or five goats seen dashing through the streets of San Francisco this past week. They made national news via videos viewed by many thousands of folks on social media.
