375 goats were relocated to a new park by using a helicopter. This happened in the State of Washington, USA. These were mountain goats and were native to the Cascades National Park. The people wanted to move them to protect the plants. The goats had killed a hiker in 2010. They were becoming a threat to the plants in the farm and people. Agriculture was disturbed. The reason they were moved was because they were aggressive. This caused difficulty for the workers in the park. By moving these goats to another park, people became happier.
