Witnessing animal takeovers of cities during lockdown isn’t exactly an unfamiliar scene, but this incident is a little different. These goats weren’t taking advantage of lockdown conditions to wander empty streets — they boldly orchestrated an escape from a backyard and charged through a San Jose neighborhood.
Terry Roelands has been using the goats to clear away the brush after the hill behind his home in San Jose, California, caught fire 15 years ago. On Tuesday, one of the goats tapped the electric fence meant to contain them, breaking it and allowing the 200 goats to escape onto the streets.
