Farewell to Goiat, indomitable bear

The Goiat bear, the last sex-symbol of the Pyrenees, has left us with a discretion that he lacked in life and his memory will endure among those of us who think that he was a victim of fame – bad fame to be exact – and hostage to his impulses. , among which, except smoking, there was everything and nothing good.

Unlike the foolish Yogi, Goiat was a self-made plantigrade, who one fine day in 2016 was taken from his native Slovenia to be released into the Pyrenees with the idea that he was an exemplary machine, called to repopulate the region.

The goat throws into the mountain and Goiat threw what is not written until one day he said enough, fed up with sexual objectification. And instead of settling down and eating at both, he chose to wander and attack livestock, to the desolation of the competent authorities, determined to repopulate the Pyrenees with civil and healthy bears.

Against his will, Goiath became plagued. Slovenian by birth and Catalan by adoption, the Government of Aragon and the Conselh Generau d'Aran even asked the Generalitat to expatriate him, as if the Generalitat did not have other better things to expatriate back in 2018.

Environmentalists never lost faith in Goiat, to whom the Pyrenean ranchers wanted to give him lead and all because he snacked on sheep, lambs and some colts. Now you can sleep peacefully: the indomitable one has left the forum and since April 25, 2022 he has not shown any signs of life, hence the Brown Bear Network – what would we do without it! – has just declared “extinct” Goiat, that bear.

Those of us who were fortunate enough to not treat him from half a meter away will remember his laughter, his outrages and that generosity that was so his. Goiat never had a yes for friends – very few, to be honest – and he knew how to transmit eternal values ​​such as the excellence of lamb chops, the aversion to social networks and those walks that the hikers in the metropolitan area of ​​Barcelona wanted for themselves. .

Goiat, what are we going to tell you that you don't know? Procreate, eat and dribble is the plot of the work. The best leave.
