OLYMPIC NAT’L PARK, Wash. (AP) – Olympic National Park is looking at getting rid of mountain goats.
Mountain goats are not native to the Olympic Peninsula and have long posed an environmental problem for the park.
The park’s preferred alternative calls for capturing and relocating goats to national forests in the North Cascades.
Another option is just killing the goats.
More than 600 goats now graze the park’s alpine meadows and roam its rocky peaks.
