We were warned. We didn’t listen.
Six weeks after goats reclaimed the streets of Lladudno in Wales, a veritable sea of goats launched a takeover through the streets of San Jose, California, marking the first goat uprising to hit the United States during the coronavirus.
I’m dead 😂☠️ When I got back from the store all the goats had broken through the fence and were recking havoc on our street

The goats were brought into San Jose by resident Terry Roelands, who annually brings goats to his house to clear brush on his backyard hill. A cunning goat was able to tap the electric fence, allowing for the mad dash for freedom. Sadly for the goats, the escape attempt was short-lived, as a rancher was able to round them up in a quick five minutes.
Clearly ignoring the growing threat of global goat domination, Twitter took to yukking it up.

While this goat uprising was quashed, it’s unclear if there will be more in the future. Be on the alert.
