Talk:Feral goat

Feral goats in Australia
User:Ahtsisab has just added a long section on feral goats in Australia. It is excellent material: well-researched, well-referenced and full of useful encyclopaedic information. However, it seems to me that it makes the goat article very unbalanced, and I think it would be better in a separate article.

It is well meaty enough to make a reasonable article on its own. However, feral goats also occur in many other places in the world, often with similar issues, and so I think it would be best in an article about feral goats more generally (which surprisingly does not exist yet, apart from a short section in Wild goat). I therefore suggest that this material is moved to a new Feral goat article, leaving a "main article" tag and summary here. The summary for this important subject ought to go earlier in the article – I suggest inserting it before "Goat breeds". --Richard New Forest (talk) 16:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * No comments for a couple of weeks, so I have broken out this section into a new Feral goat article, with a "main article" tag. --Richard New Forest (talk) 21:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Kri-kri and Balearean boc
Kri-kris have existed for 10,000 to 8,000 years, and Balearean bocs have existed for 7,000 to 5,000 years. Both are native to their respective ranges and don't need to be culled or hunted. Golden and Bonelli's eagles are their natural predators. Myotragus is an extinct caprid genus that lived on the Balearic Islands up until about 4,500 years ago, which means Balearean bocs are technically an example of rewilding.
