Pupukea Goat Stranded on Cliff for Nearly Two Weeks

Nov 10, 2026

This is a local animal-welfare story, not money or power news, but worth a quick note: a goat on Oahu's North Shore has been stuck on a cliff ledge near a popular hiking trail for about two weeks with no sign of movement.

  • Residents near the Ahupua'a Pillbox Trail say the goat hasn't moved in 12 days and worry it's hurt or trapped.
  • It's unclear how the animal ended up there, but neighbors think it may have fallen onto the ledge.
  • Locals feel helpless and want a safe rescue attempt that doesn't put any person at risk.
  • Calls have gone out to the fire department, state land officials, and the Humane Society, but no response yet on whether anyone will step in.

Outlook: Resolution depends on whether rescue agencies respond soon; until then the goat remains stranded.
