The Judas Goat, radiolab did a podcast episode on it. Goats found their way into this island ecosystem and they were destroying it, so people needed to deal with them. But it was difficult, they tried all sorts of methods, but the population kept rebounding.
Enter the judas goat. It was one goat they tagged and tracked. See, goats are social creatures, the Judas goat would find a group of fellow goats, people would come in and wipe that group out - all of them but the Judas Goat. Then they'd leave and wait for him to make new friends. Repeat.
Iirc it worked. I highly recommend listening to the radiolab episode, google Judas Goat and it should come up .
