gweedy is right, scapegoats aren't SUMMONED there mearly being placed after activation, thus HoH won't work on them...........
Correct answer, but not the best reasoning.
Yes, the card does indees say "place" rather than "summon," but they are still considered to be special summoned.

Horn of Heaven and the Summon-Negating part of Solemn Judgement can only be used against monsters that summon themselves to the field by meeting all of the requirements. The two cards cannot be used against card effects that summon monsters to the field as they clearly state that they only negate the summoning of monsters and not effects that summon monsters to the field. The text of Royal Oppression clearly distinguishes between negating the summoning of a monster and negating the effect of a card that summons a monster to the field.
Meh...Maybe this will be clearer:

Rulings
There are basically 2 ways to Special Summon a monster. The first way is with a Spell Card like "Monster Reborn", a Trap Card like "Call of the Haunted", or an Effect Monster like "Magical Scientist". The second way is built in to the monster, and Special Summons it without activating an effect, such as "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" or "Dark Necrofear". "Royal Oppression" can negate both of these types of Special Summon. In the first case, you chain the activation of "Royal Oppression"'s effect to the activation of the Spell, Trap, or Monster Card's effect, and negate the effect. In the second case, right before the monster is Special Summoned, you can activate the effect of "Royal Oppression" to negate the Special Summon (the same procedure that you use for "Horn of Heaven" or "Solemn Judgment").
