Rescuers fail to rescue goat trapped on 150ft cliff ledge after five hours
RESCUERS failed to save a goat that was trapped on a cliff ledge - but can you spot the animal?
But as a coastguard rescuer was roped down toward the goat the young animal became scared - and fell from the rock face. Rescue teams have defended their tragic mission, saying they tried to save the goat so members of the public would not risk their own lives. "We were there to provide safety cover, and we made a judgement based on risk to the public, we offered advice and support to the RSPCA during the operation."There was no deadline for the rescue, reports were made that the goat had been stuck for 24-hours and our team took so long in order to rescue the baby goat so they didn't put themselves at risk.
