Mayor makes offer after number of goats on Alicudi reaches six times human population
The mayor of a remote Italian island overrun by wild goats has offered to give the animals away to anyone willing to take one in.
Riccardo Gullo came up with the novel idea after a recent census estimated the number of goats on the five-square kilometre Alicudi, the smallest of Sicily’s Aeolian archipelago, was six times the island’s year-round population of 100.
