Taking advantage of a global pandemic for your own gain is ??? ????? ?????a jerk move. Can someone tell these goats?
With the UK currently under government lockdown to quell the spread of the coronavirus, places like Llandudno, a coastal town in north Wales, have become rather empty on the streets.
This newfound human-less-ness has arrived much to the delight of a certain herd of goats, who have decided to take advantage of the government's stay-home orders and have moved into the town.
Manchester Evening News video and web producer Andrew Stuart, who currently lives in the town, has been documenting the goat takeover, posting regular images and videos to Twitter.
Stuart started documenting the goats on Friday, when he posted the most incredible sentence you may have read in a while.
"I think I just got a group of goats in Llandudno arrested," Stuart wrote, sharing a video fo a sizable herd running down the street in the evening.

The goats appeared to be enjoying a little snack on a street called Trinity Square, munching on some hedges. "There are goats... everywhere," said Stuart, quite ominously.

Stuart did the responsible thing and called the local police, who sent a patrol car to deal with the situation and move the goats along.

By Monday, the goats were back again, walking all over fences and genuinely owning the place.

Stuart reflected on why the goats were taking over the town like this, saying they usually live on a large limestone headland nearby known as the Great Orme, and only retreat to the town in high winds.
"They usually only come down from the Great Orme when it’s windy, and only the back streets at the top of Mostyn Street. Now lockdown means it’s empty, they’re going further than ever," he wrote.
