Gävle, Sweden: please don't burn our goat

Story here

From the article:

The town of Gävle, Sweden, is famous for Gevalia coffee. And for erecting a 13-metre-tall straw goat to celebrate Christmas. Every year, arsonists try to burn the goat down -- and they succeed about fifty per cent of the time. But this year, officials are determined to keep the Gävlebocken from being torched.
