Not to be dramatic or anything, but goats continue to conspire against humanity — this time against the people of New York.
Following their massive takeover in Boise, Idaho, goats in New York City attempted to interfere with the already failing subway system on Monday morning when two goats somehow stumbled onto some above-ground train tracks in Brooklyn. The pair were spotted on the N line track, just chilling out and being goats.
A new one for us (we think): Two goats are roaming along the N line tracks in Brooklyn. They’re safe and not currently affecting service, but they are on the run. We’ll keep you posted.

Well, here’s an animal on a roof story that’s vying to be the G.O.A.T.
Australian man Jeremy Peck and some colleagues were working on a home in Perth, when they happened to notice a goat perched on top of a neighbouring house.
“There was a goat on the roof of a multi million-dollar house in one of Australia’s most prestigious suburbs, Dalkeith,” Peck told Storyful.
