Italian island overrun by goats is offering them free to anyone who can catch them

The tiny, remote Italian island of Alicudi is home to only around 100 residents and, ideally, about 100 wild goats.

This year, however, the ratio of humans to animals has become wildly unbalanced. The island has been overrun by six times its desired number of goat inhabitants and has more of the animals per capita than anywhere else that counts such things—and mayor Riccardo Gullo is calling on anyone who can help to pitch in to solve the issue.

“We have heard from dozens of people since we first announced this,” Gullo said, including a farmer from the nearby island of Vulcano, who produces goat cheese. “Ideally, we would like to see people try to domesticate the animals rather than eat them,” he added. However, the authorities will not be doing due diligence on any goat adopter’s intentions. Once the goats have been apportioned, the goat-taker has 15 days to catch and remove them from the island.
