Pictures show the dramatic rescue of a goat which was trapped on top of a 100-foot-high castle tower.
The kid – named Ivy – had scaled the tower, near Greencastle, on the Inishowen Peninsula, Co. Donegal, Ireland.
She injured her leg and was trapped there for three days before members of the public contacted the ISPCA for assistance, reports Need To Know.

The rescue, which took place on Monday (3 June), saw ISPCA Superintendent Inspector, Kevin McGinley climbing the tower to reach the goat.
On getting Ivy down to ground level and to safety, it became clear that the goat had a leg injury.
She was transported to a nearby veterinary practice for an assessment of her injuries and was subsequently treated for a fractured leg.
Ivy is currently being cared for at the ISPCA’s Animal Rehabilitation Centre near Ramelton, where she will be on restricted mobility rest for the next six weeks until her leg has healed, and the cast has been removed.
An ISPCA spokesperson commented: “Although she was a little stunned and underweight following her dramatic rescue, she is eating well and is expected to make a full recovery.”
