Almost 200 goats were seen roaming the empty streets of East San Jose, California, amid the lockdown, breaking all “social distancing rules”; the footage has since gone massively viral and raised donations to fight hunger.

Local resident Zach Roelands tweeted the footage on May 12, 2020, of the goats flooding into driveways and front yards as their shepherds try to contain them, describing it as “the craziest thing to happen all quarantine.” The video of the goats wreaking “havoc” has since gained over 4 million views and raised around US$4,000 in donations for food banks.
