From a Jain perspective, the intention is compassionate, because saving animals is in line with ahimsa. So buying goats to protect them from slaughter is not wrong in itself.

However, Jainism also teaches carefulness about indirect participation. If buying them creates demand or supports the slaughter market, then the act can become spiritually mixed. So the key point is:

• Good intention: saving lives is meritorious.
• Caution: avoid becoming a cause, even indirectly, of further violence.

In simple terms, Jainism would encourage:

• saving animals through non-violent means, if possible,
• rescuing without supporting killing, and
• seeking alternatives that do not strengthen the slaughter trade.

So the answer is: the compassion is right, but the method should be examined carefully in Jain ethics. The best action is the one that minimizes violence in both intention and result.
