'Goats are landowners? responsibility? says council report
LANDOWNERS are responsible for protecting their property from damage from the roaming Great Orme Goats ? not Conwy council ? warns a new report.
And Conwy Council will refuse to confine the Kashmir goats using fencing for fear it will become solely responsible for the animals? welfare.
Councillors will consider a plan to manage the herd with its partner agencies after the animals rampaged through Llandudno, Llanrhos, and Craig y Don during the height of the pandemic.
Working with the town council, Mostyn Estates, Natural Resources Wales, and the RSPCA, the council is looking at new ways to manage the animals to minimise conflict with human neighbours.
Current methods of controlling the goat population and their movements include herding the animals on some occasions, contraception, and relocation.
But the report warns that landowners are responsible for protecting their land and could even be responsible for the animals? welfare.
