SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- The South Bay man behind the viral goat stampede video, showing the animals running wild through a San Jose neighborhood, is now using his newfound fame to help fight hunger.

"If you're here b/c of the goats please consider donating to help feed those in need," posted Zach Roelands on his Twitter page.

Roelands shared video of the now famous goats on May 12 saying, "This is the craziest thing to happen all quarantine." It got a huge response on Twitter with 4.4 million views.



With so much attention on his video, Roelands used the opportunity to launch a fundraiser for Feeding America.
