How'd you like to be the Canadian who called the police on a goat?
Yes, a goat. A goat was "crying for help" — she was actually calling out for her babies — and someone overheard this and called the police thinking it was a human who had fallen off a cliff.
The noise was coming from a ravine, so I can totally see where someone would be worried, but I'm still going to laugh my rump off at the fact that someone mistook a goat's cries for human ones and called the police.
The Quadra Island RCMP said officers responded to a report of someone repeatedly shouting "help" from a ravine and the person who heard the calls feared that a person had fallen off a cliff.
"Further investigation revealed that the 'help' heard was actually a sad goat from neighboring goat farm," the RCMP said in a report.
The farm's owner told officers the goat was calling out for her babies.
The babies had just been separated from their mother, so now I'm gonna have to go cry for the sake of this sad goat. Hopefully nobody confuses my cries for those of a goat and goes ahead and calls animal control.
No joke though, the officers who arrived on the scene did say the cries sounded like a human calling for help, so I'll let this story slide for now.
Just gonna leave this here for fun:
