On the other hand, the LNDC Animal Protection NGO, which works for animal welfare, argued that the goats were living freely on the island, but after the adoption, their species would be extinct. "These goats, who today live in freedom and peace, will find themselves facing a new life of captivity and exploitation. LNDC Animal Protection is considering all possible legal steps to stop this slaughter."
