      Based on what I just read, goats do climb into trees like this (to eat) but farmers who want more tourists lure their goats into trees with food

        Yes, that matches what I’ve found too. The goats climb into argan trees to eat the fruits. However, farmers place goats in the trees for tourists and force them to stay there all day, which is bad for the goats, as they are subjected to the sun and heat, as well as for the trees, as the hooves damage the bark.
