Protest against Lynton Town Council's plans to cull around 100 of the wild goats, including nannys with kids, from the historic Valley of the Rocks.

26th May 2005 : Stop Press : Wild goats of Devon win reprieve

The wild goats of Lynton have been given a reprieve after the town council decided to abandon plans for a cull.
Instead it has agreed to install fencing and a cattle grid to try to stop the animals entering the town and causing a nuisance.

The town council hopes the compromise will provide a long-term solution to the problem.

Villagers have been divided over whether the goats are a tourist attraction or a nuisance.

Goats need New homes

The council are considering relocation of some goats if suitable sites/homes can be found.

If you can take any goats, even just a few as it would save them from being shot, please contact Lynton and Lynmouth Town Council
