The National Trust has culled the last remaining goats living on a coastal site in the UK. The decision was made after the goats were found to be causing damage to the fragile ecosystem of the area.
The goats had been living on the site for many years, but their numbers had grown to the point where they were having a negative impact on the local flora and fauna. The National Trust decided to cull the goats in order to protect the delicate balance of the ecosystem.
While some local residents and animal rights activists have expressed outrage over the culling of the goats, the National Trust has defended its decision as necessary for the preservation of the site’s biodiversity.
Moving forward, the National Trust plans to monitor the site closely to ensure that the ecosystem is able to recover and thrive without the presence of the goats.
