100 mysterious goats have invaded an Idaho neighborhood
They came. They saw. They ate everything in sight.
About 100 goats took over a residential neighborhood in Boise, Idaho, on Friday morning, and they weren't kidding around. The mysterious herd trotted from lawn to lawn for an all-you-can-graze buffet, per local NBC affiliate KTVB's investigation.
Boise has seen goats on horseback, and this Washington Post map of "literally every goat in the United States" shows the city is surrounded by the creatures. So it was only a matter of time before goats claimed the city as their own, really.

Animal control apparently showed up with one truck before quickly realizing it wouldn't contain the rampant kids, KTVB says. But around 10:45 am., the source of the invasion was revealed: The herd was corralled into a truck owned by We Rent Goats, an Idaho business that delivers live weed munchers to trim up your property. These classy business goats were simply doing their job — and rounding up some free advertising along the way.
