Goats: My Territory, My Rules
Sheep seized control of a Welsh town locked down by a virus.
In a small town in northern Wales, sheep launched a ‘takeover’ operation on the quiet streets. The deserted roads of Llandano proved an attractive habitat for the animals, who have been greedily eating hedges and gardens. Yes, nature seems to be returning, as everyone in Britain has been told to stay at home.
Stewart, a reporter at the Manchester Evening News, noted that these animals were breaching ‘isolation regulations’, gathering into a large group, and failing to maintain a distance of two meters on Friday evening. He also observed that the sheep were ‘munching on hedges’ and tweeted: ‘They might be running amok in the town, and I’m sure they haven’t maintained a safe distance between them’.
Although police from north Wales arrived on the scene and drove them off, they were too mischievous to stay away and returned this weekend to continue devouring hedges, eating leaves in Trinity Square and sleeping in a church graveyard.
Mr. Stewart said that while the sheep usually only leave their territory in Anglesey during windy weather to seek refuge in the village outskirts, ‘they are now walking further than ever before’. Anglesey is home to about 200 wild Welsh Mountain Sheep, descendants of a pair of Indian goats given to Queen Victoria in 1837 by the King of Persia.
Thankfully, in an era of viral outbreaks, the sheep brought some joy to the world.
