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

Answer

Why did Mallorca ban feeding wild goats?

The ban is intended to stop goats from becoming dependent on people and from gathering in places where they can damage plants or create hazards. In Mallorca, repeated feeding at miradors, roadsides, and parking areas has made the problem worse over time. The aim is to protect both the landscape and the animals' natural behaviour.
