Three baby goats have gone missing from a field near the M32. Now owners the Street Goat project are desperately trying to relocate the kids, who they say will die without their mother's milk.
Project volunteers suspect the goats have been stolen and believe that the possibility of them being taken by a fox is 'highly unlikely'. Street Goat has said on Facebook that the mother goats are 'very distressed'. The missing goats are described as golden brown. One male and two females are missing. Street Goat is urging people with any information to get in touch.
One of the volunteers Patrick Mallery said: "They are very young kids who are only 48 hours old. Within the first six or seven days the mums produce colostrum. It’s what they need to survive because it’s one of the main building blocks of their immune system. They are very vulnerable.

"We are just trying to locate them at the moment and hoping that whoever has taken them has some feelings of responsibility and they get returned either to us or the RSPCA so they can be reunited with their mums." The Bristol project runs a goat dairy producing milk and has a grazing project that takes male goat kids to produce sustainable meat.
