Brawling mountain goats stop traffic outside Asda as two angry bucks lock horns

A flock of goats sparked chaos at a supermarket when they brawled in a car park.

More than a dozen "royal" mountain goats stopped traffic to watch two other angry bucks lock horns at the lights at an Asda supermarket in Llandudno, North Wales.

Drivers blew their horns to try and get the goats to scatter, but the goats were too busy with their scrap to notice.

This isn't the first time the Kashmiri mountain goats have caused frustration among residents.

They have left their home on the Great Orme and stray into town.

Last week, they were seen "devouring" a garden hedge in front of confused homeowners.

Safety concerns have previously been raised after the animals suffered injuries when being hit by traffic.

The mischievous animals are known for causing havoc when they wander from their mountainside home.

Mum Michelle Evans, a nurse, was driving to the supermarket when she had to pull up and wait for the animals to move on.

She said: "There were two goats fighting at the traffic lights by Asda.

"They were having a right scrap and making a heck of a noise. It sounded like one was hurt. But they wouldn't give up. They were really going at it.

“The two goats fighting had their horns locked while the rest of the herd was just watching.

"People were beeping their horns because they couldn't get in or out of Asda. In the end, people just drove around them. You don't expect to see that when you go to pick up your shopping!"

Shopper Claire Gaines added: "There were about ten goats stopping cars getting in and out of the car park.

"The drivers were getting frustrated."

The scrap was reported to Conwy County Council.

A spokeswoman for the council said: "The council acts in the interests of the goats’ welfare when they are on our land.

"We are not responsible for any damage they may cause, and we cannot become involved in removing goats from private property.”

The Kashmiri goats were originally a gift to Lord Mostyn from Queen Victoria and have roamed in a wild state for about 100 years.

The 200-strong flock of Kashmiri goats usually live on the Great Orme headlands above the town.
