Set up a shawarma shop. Make it a pick your own like at strawberry farms, but with goats. That'll solve the problem.

Ottawa's city council declared the city as the 'Shawarma Capital of Canada'. I think these goats will serve the city well. The news: https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/ottawa-is-the-shawarma-capital-of-canada-council-declares-1.6830648

Get some Dominicans set up on the island and have some of the best goat stew you've ever had.

They can’t just ship 20,000 of them to another country, like Botswana wants to do, with its elephant problem?

Didn't know goats were the natural predators of elephants.

I think you misread that. Have you not read the news articles about Botswana wanting to ship 20,000 elephants to Germany? They say that Germans are hunting their elephants. They claim that if Germans enjoy hunting their elephants so much, then Botswana’s government should be allowed to ship some elephants to them. The people in Botswana see the elephants as a nuisance.
