Feeding forbidden: Why Mallorca's new ban needs more than signs

Answer

Why does goat feeding matter for Mallorca's landscape and roads?

When goats get used to people, they can gather in places where they are not wanted, including roadsides and viewpoints. That can increase stress for animals and people, and it can also put nearby vegetation at risk. In Mallorca, the issue affects more than one species — it touches daily life, trails, and traffic safety too.
