The sound of screams off a ravine prompted a police response on Quadra Island last month, and Mounties say the unusual call didn't involve a person in distress, but rather a "sad" goat.

Quadra RCMP said they received a report on Oct. 30 of someone screaming "help, help" off a ravine and were concerned the individual had fallen off the cliff.

"Further investigation revealed that the 'help' heard was actually a sad goat from a neighbouring goat farm," Mounties said in a news release Monday. "The owner advised that the mama goat's babies had just been removed and she was calling for them.".

I'm not crying - there's just a lot of dust in the air. Probably.

Often we don't deserve animals. We often do deserve those ramming by goats instead....
