Goats are such an enigma. They're supposed to be crafty, and yet here we see two of them stranded on a precarious section of a Pennsylvania overpass. The only explanation is that they wanted to be there, knew exactly what they were doing, and were irritated when some good-hearted policemen and state employees showed up to get them down.

The goat rescue happened Tuesday on the Mahoning River Bridge in western Pennsylvania. It was a unique experience for all involved.

"We've never had goats on a bridge before," Pennsylvania Turnpike spokesperson Renee Colborn told CNN.

Colborn said no one knows how the caprine thrillseekers got up on the bridge. Goats are natural perchers, and love to hang out in impossible and worrying places like trees and nearly flat rock faces, but balancing on an 8-inch ledge approximately 150 to 200 feet off the ground seems a bit excessive.

They had an 8 inch ledge to balance upon? That was plenty of room for those thrill seeking goats. I'm pretty sure the male goat was bringing his side bitch up on that ledge to bang out of view from his baby's momma.

That's some Stupid in that article. Him talking about the goats only have 8" to stand on. That's plenty of room for the goats.

As for needing rescued, like my dad use to say when the cat climbed the tree, "if it got up there, it can get down"

That would make the brown one the male:

quote:

"One of the guys loaded the white goat onto the bucket first and brought it to the top of the bridge," Colborn said. The other one was less congenial and ended up hoofing it to safety by following the beam to the bridge's end.

"The brown goat was walked down because he didn't want to be touched," she added.


Yeah, he mad...

The brown goat brought the white goat on the bridge and knew it would work out for him. You know, because of the implication.

Well that should have been obvious, I read that 50+ years ago.

You mess with a billy goat on a bridge, he gets gruff.

good thing for them there weren't 3 of them

It is a toll bridge but they misunderstood and were just avoiding a troll.

15 years ago they would have fallen and been fish food now we shut down a road spend thousands of dollars to save 2 small farm animals. It's sad how much this country has fallen down the pussy path.
