Vandalised gate leads to missing goats. Have you seen them?

Last weekend mindless vandals smashed up the gate to Ventnor Downs and National Trust (NT) rangers, who look after the after believe that some of the goats may have escaped.

They posted an appeal on social media yesterday saying,

“Have you seen our goats? Over the weekend some vandalism occurred to gates on Ventnor Downs and we think a few goats may have escaped.”

Speaking to Robin from the NT, he added that the goats should be on either Coombe Bottom or Bonchurch Down – if you see them on Wroxall Down or Luccombe Down where the heather is do please let the rangers know.

Here’s what the goats look like:
