Alikudi: More sheep than people on the island. Mayor invites people to adopt goats who can’t bear the nuisance. Alicudi, near Sicily, Italy, is plagued by goats. There are 100 inhabitants of this small island. But there are more than 600 goats on this island. The goats that used to live on the small hills and hillsides of the island are coming in droves to the inhabited area after increasing in number.
This is why the people struggled with them. The island also has other environmental problems, with the grasslands on the hillsides eaten away by goats. They have reached the residential areas from the hillsides and are destroying gardens and crops widely. With this, the mayor of Alikudi has come forward with the goat adoption project. The project has been announced targeting the dairy farmers of the island. The mayor of Alikudi explains that since he is aware of animal rights, not a single fish has been caught during this time.
That is why the mayor did not try to find a solution by killing the goats. The mayor responded to the local media that the islanders are getting a good response to the mayor’s idea. The highlight of the project is that you don’t have to pay a single rupee to adopt the goats. This is due to the fact that it normally costs from 200 euros to buy a goat.
