quote [ Hundreds of mountain goats in Olympic National Park, WA have become so addicted to the salt found in human urine and sweat that they are an aggressive menace to national park visitors, charging at hikers and trampling vegetation. They have a taste for salt and minerals in human urine, and sweat on clothes and backpacks, according to officials.
The solution to this problem? Airlift 375 of the non-native grumpy animals to more remote areas closer to their natural habitat [in the Cascades] where they will be less of a nuisance. "Park officials urged walkers not to urinate along trails, to avoid turning paths into 'long, linear salt licks' and attracting goats." ] It's like that Star Trek episode, only with goats.
NPS press release: "Mountain Goat Capture and Translocation"
Won’t mountain goats cause the same problems in the Cascades?Way to throw shade on the Cascades, home of dirty stinking piss-goats.

When I quickly scanned the header I was thinking of an Olympic village and imagining 'roided out goats.
