Young goat saved from ledge in 'dramatic' rope rescue

A six-strong team of officers abseiled 30 metres to save a goat trapped on a ledge in a dramatic rope rescue.

The young male goat got stuck on a ledge towering above Llandudno's Marine Drive on Tuesday.

The team monitored the animal's progress before carrying out a detailed risk assessment. A six-strong team of frontline staff then decided to approach the trapped goat from above to bring him to safety.

The officers abseiled from 30 metres above the goat to catch him by the horns, before bagging him up to bring him to safety a further 20 metres down.

Mike Pugh, RSPCA inspector said it was a complex rescue.

RSPCA officers Andrew Broadbent, Jenny Anderton, Mike Pugh, Nayman Dunderdale, Ann Lloyd Williams and Vicki Taylor completed the rescue.
