羊满为患！意大利小岛如何应对突如其来的山羊危机？
What do you do if you have an island filled with goats? Well, one such place off the coast of Sicily has decided to give them away for free! The mayor (市长) of the Italian island of Alicudi decided to act after finding that there were six times as many goats as people. These creatures have been causing trouble, breaking into gardens and homes!
Wild goats have lived in Alicudi for years, and spent most of their time on the island’s mountains and cliffs before. However, as their population has grown, they have started to come down to where people live. The goats have been acting badly. They eat plants and fruits growing at head height in the gardens. They’ve also been knocking down parts of walls — and even walking into people’s homes!
As a result the mayor of the island, Riccardo Gullo, has decided to give some of the goats away to people living on other islands. Mr Gullo said that people have already been asking about taking the goats. He said: “There is a farmer on Vulcano Island who would like to take several goats as he makes a popular cheese.” The mayor wants fewer goats on Alicudi Island, so it’s easier to control them.
