Goat stuck on ledge on Llandudno's Great Orme Aug 20 2008 by Kelly Fenna, Daily Post Goat stuck on Great Orme A goat has spent more than five nights stuck on a ledge hundreds of feet above Llandudno’s famous Great Orme tramway. Residents raised fears for its welfare after it got separated from its herd and wandered onto the rocky outcrop on the 200-metre high headland. In April, RSPCA and firefighters were called in to rescue a group of cragbound baby goats from the Orme using ladders. But wardens have not intervened this time – despite residents reporting they can hear the goat’s cries – for fear they could spook her and she might fall. Conwy council says its officers are monitoring the situation. But worried locals want something done to help the animal from the steep ledge. John Roberts, who lives opposite, said: “When I first saw the goat on Friday, I didn’t take too much notice because often they get stuck but manage to get themselves back to safety. “It was only when I noticed it in the very same spot the next day and the day after, that I realised there was no way it could get down. He added: “I reported my concerns to the park wardens who already knew about it. They said they could not do anything to help because if they tried, it would cause the animal distress.” John added: “You can see that the goat has no way of getting up or down. “It is only going to be a matter of time before its food runs out and it really starts to panic. “She is already distressed, we have heard her crying. “Wardens and RSPCA workers have used ladders in similar situations before, I really don’t see why they can’t do anything in this instance. I feel they should be trying a little bit harder.” Yesterday park wardens were unavailable to comment but a Conwy County Council spokeswoman said: “The RSPCA and Conwy's countryside wardens are aware of concerns and are monitoring the situation.” dailypost.co.uk
