It will be interesting to see how it plays out.""Wyoming appeals for hunters to visit the state and shoot wild goats. For years conservationists, land management experts, National Park officials and the state wrangled with the problem. In 2018 they agreed to a plan which would rely on aerial sharp shooters, controlling the population from helicopters. A helicopter was sent to kill the mountain goats in February, and the gunmen on board managed to shoot 38 goats - a third of the population - in one day. Shortly thereafter, however, the helicopters were indefinitely grounded owing to complaints from the governor, and the goat elimination programme suddenly paused. Now Wyoming state officials are appealing for hunters to come and "take out" the rest of the population. This is every hunters dream, said Kristin Combs, executive director of Wyoming Wildlife Advocates. She told the Daily Beast: Youre letting them loose inside a national park to kill as many goats as possible. The governor of Wyoming, Mark Gordon, was enthusiastic about the appeal to hunters. He said it was in tune with local culture, and would mean that families could use the meat from the felled animals. We felt because of COVID, that meat was going to go wanting," he said.
