Were they placed there or did they climb up?

Unfortunately, they are placed there for tourists who want to take pictures.

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.
