A small Italian island with a population of 100 people is being overrun by 600 goats. The mayor wants people to adopt them.

A small Italian island is being overrun by goats – in fact, there are six times the amount of the animals than there are people. Riccardo Gullo, the mayor of Alicudi, which is just off the coast of Sicily, is now trying to give away goats as the island becomes inundated with the animals. 

Alicudi only has 100 inhabitants but 600 goats, Gullo said in a post on social media.  The goats usually graze on the mountains and cliffs of the island but as they've grown in population, they've infiltrated residential areas, according to BBC News. 

Since the goats are damaging gardens, Gullo came up with an "Adopt A Goat" program to give them away. Adoption applications are due on Wednesday, BBC News reports.
