    Burning down the goat is so important it involves hacking nearby surveillance and monitoring guard posts.

    In 2001, the goat was burned down by a 51-year-old American visitor from Cleveland, Ohio

    So, Chad, what are your plans for Christmas?

      The Gävle Goat has been the subject of repeated arson attacks; despite security measures and a nearby fire station, the goat has been burned to the ground most years since its first appearance in 1966. As of December 2023, 42 out of 58 goats have been destroyed or damaged in some way. Burning or destroying the goat is illegal, and the Svea Court of Appeal has stated that the offence should normally carry a 3-month prison sentence.

      I mean 42 of 58. They like burning the goat. And why shouldn’t they?
