Goats
Goats can have profound negative effects on habitats that are not adapted to them. They can be voracious grazers, often with a taste for native scrub, trees and other vegetation, turning whole woodlands into grasslands if left unchecked. The problem has become particularly bad in places like Australia, as well as on isolated islands around the world where human populations have attempted to establish a settlement. Goats are rugged animals that can easily revert to a feral existence if allowed to do so.

ahaha, I love their faces! They're so cute. I'd love to own one >.<
If you read carefully, you will realize that the author isn't suggesting that animals are destroying the earth as many of you interpreted and are now upset about. Most of these populations of species are a problem BECAUSE of human interference in some way or another. Pollution, introduction to a non-native area, etc. That being said, for all of you who honestly think that humans have not, are not, or (perhaps worse) could not negatively affect the planet that we live upon: Please please....

Who writes this stuff anyway? Look at the ads on the bottom of the page - Big Pharma Pfizer, Coors, COKE! What unadulterated greenwashing baloney! None of these animals are bad for the environment - whatever problems they are perceived to be causing are exacerbated by or caused outright by human activity. The only animal that's bad for the environment is modern humans - and their corporations.
Hey, that looks just like a friend of mine.
