HEY – FREE GOATS

The mayor of an Italian island is giving away free goats. The small island of Alicudi, near Sicily, has a human population of about 100 people. Recently, their small population of goats has exploded, and now there are around 600 goats on the island, and they need to get rid of them. Rather than killing them, Riccardo Gullo, the island’s mayor, is offering free goats for anyone who can catch them. Anyone who emails a request to the local government and pays a $17 “stamp fee” can take as many goats as they wish, as long as they transport them off the island with their own boat.
* A goat boat. Tote your goat in boat, and it better float.
* An explosion of goats. Well, they are horny.
* They realized it was out of control when the noticed each person doing goat yoga had 14 goats.
* This actually sounds like a ploy to get fresh blood onto the island, for a ritual like in that movie Midsommar.
* Said the mayor: “This situation really gets my goat! And now YOU can, too!”
