Goats Overrun Italian Island of Alicudi: Can Humans Fight Back? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

There's a tiny Italian island in the Mediterranean called Alicudi. It is only about 5 square kilometers large, and home to around 100 people. But these people are under attack by the island's other residents, its goats. There are at least 600 goats on Alicudi. They outnumber the people 6 to 1. There are now so many goats, that they are leaving Alicudi's mountaintop, and descending upon the human settlement. But despite all this, the residents of Alicudi don't want to cull the goats. Instead, they have started a scheme where they donate goats to people who want to provide them with a safe home.
