Title: Gavle Goat
Post by: Rob M. on November 27, 2016, 09:30:45 PM: I know there are some avid Goatcam fans here, sad to report that the 50th anniversary goat was torched tonight at 23:06! This is something of a record (albeit a notorious one).

Another casualty of 2016!

It's dated to 27th December. The page you put up is about traveling. ???

The Swedish wiki article says: Brändes bara några timmar efter invigningen. Det trots att säkerheten hade höjts genom att så kallad intelligent kamerabevakning skickade signal till en larmcentral om någon rörde sig i området.

Translation: Burned just a few hours after the inauguration. It although security had been increased by the so-called intelligent camera surveillance signal sent to a monitoring center if anyone moved in the area.
