That’s the final verdict from Quadra Island RCMP after officers responded last month to reports of someone screaming near a ravine.
As it turns out, what sounded like someone yelling in distress on Oct. 30 was actually a mama goat calling for her babies that had just been removed from her care — and not, in fact, someone who had fallen off a cliff.
This week, the Mounties published a report detailing island incidents between Oct. 23 and Nov. 12 and debunked any worry that phantoms were to blame for the hijinks happening around Halloween.
When it came to goat-gate, officers noted while on the scene, according to the report, that the cries did sound similar to someone yelling for help.
The very next night, which was Halloween, officers were alerted to more mysterious screaming, and were told this time by a concerned complainant that it was coming from Quadra Island Cemetery.
Draht, who wrote the comedic copy published this week, said in an email she tries to be sensitive and cognizant of the files included and those involved.
The original article contains 339 words, the summary contains 170 words. Saved 50%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Now, I’m a meat eater but man, that’s sad. A being calls for help. Another being hears it, musters the helpers, the helpers go to help, find the being, distraught at the forceful removal of her babies, and whelp, that’s farm life. Have a good day.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
