[custom_adv] A coastal town in north Wales has found a whole new meaning to the phrase herd immunity, after goats were spotted roaming its quiet streets. It comes just days after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson introduced tighter restrictions around social movement last week in a bid to limit the spread of coronavirus. [custom_adv] Residents spotted herds of goats strolling around Llandudno on Friday and over the weekend, after more than a dozen of the animals ventured down from the Great Orme headland and roamed the streets of the coastal town. [custom_adv] They are referred to as Great Orme Kashmiri goats, whose ancestors originated from northern India, according to the town's official website. Town resident, Carl Triggs, was returning home after delivering personal protective equipment masks when he saw the goats. [custom_adv] Resident Joanna Stallard spotted the goats in her garden and said they were a regular occurrence. Mark Richards, from hotel Lansdowne House, told CNN: "They sometimes come to the foot of the Great Orme in March but this year they are all wandering the streets in town as there are no cars or people." [custom_adv] But local councilor Penny Andow told CNN she has lived in the area for 33 years and has never seen the goats venture from the Great Orme down into the town. [custom_adv] North Wales Police confirmed that they received a call on Saturday about the wild goats. However, the force said it was "not that unusual in Llandudno." [custom_adv] Usually, the wild herd of about 122 Kashmiri goats venture from the Great Orme into Llandudno during bad weather. But town councillor Carol Marubbi believes the lack of people around because of coronavirus has drawn them down.
