Little goat "Ponyo" on the cliff Living well at a recreation facility Chiba October 8th 14:09
The baby goat "Ponyo", who settled on the slope along the railroad track in Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture and became a hot topic as a "goat on a cliff," is now living well in a dedicated space for recreational facilities in the city. I will.
It continues to be popular, with many spectators visiting every day.
After escaping from the owner in early May, this baby goat settled on a concrete slope along the Keisei Electric Railway track in Sakura City for about two and a half months, and became a "goat on a cliff." It became a hot topic.
Named "Ponyo" after Studio Ghibli's animated movie, it was transferred to Sakura City free of charge after being successfully captured in August, and is open to the public at the leisure facility "Sakura Kusabue no Oka". ..
Eight other goats are bred at the facility, but Ponyo is physically fit and may jump over the fence in the same space as the other goats, so staff enclose it with a taller fence of about 1 meter and 60 centimeters. I made a space dedicated to Taponyo, and now I am living well in that place.
Many people visit Ponyo every day, and depending on the facility, the number of visitors last month increased by nearly 50% compared to last year, and Ponyo seems to have become accustomed to people completely, and it is lonely and loud when there are no people. It means that it may squeal.
Also, maybe I miss living on the cliff, I like the weeds growing in the facility.
A mother in her thirties who visited with a one-year-old child said, "I have visited many times because my child loves goats. I want him to grow up well."
In addition, on the 14th of last month, Yukiko Ide, a woodworker from Yamanashi Prefecture, who also owns two goats, presented a special hut to keep out the rain and wind.
The wooden hut, which is about 1 meter high, has a triangular roof to prevent Ponyo from climbing up and jumping out of the fence. ..
Mr. Ide said, "I also have a goat, so I was worried that it wasn't a" goat thing "since I was on the cliff. I gave a hut as a gift to make me happy. I want you to spend a relaxing time. "
