SAN JOSE – Apparently no longer content to shelter-in-place, roughly 200 goats busted out of their enclosure and briefly ran loose through a San Jose neighborhood Tuesday evening.
Zach Roelands captured the chaos on camera.
“When I got back from the store, all the goats had broken through the fence and were (wreaking) havoc on our street,” Roelands said in a Twitter post that included a video of the goats being rounded up. “This is the craziest thing to happen all quarantine.”
The goats came from an enclosure on a hill in the Silver Creek neighborhood, said Roelands. They are brought in once a year for a few days to clear the hillside brush.
“We had a tractor try to cut all the weeds a few years ago and it hit a rock and set the whole hill on fire,” he said.
The goat jailbreak occurred around 5:30 p.m., Roelands said.
Roelands said the goats were rounded up relatively quickly, but not before they munched on potted plants and other typically off-limits vegetation. They also left a conspicuous trail of droppings.
“Chaos,” Roelands wrote in a separate post that included pictures of the aftermath. “Pure chaos.”
