Police in North Wales decided to unclog a traffic jam caused by a runaway sheep with the use of a Taser, which, when applied to the sheep, stunned it enough to allow police to carry it to the side of the road.
What I don't understand is why they couldn't have just shoo'ed it away - I dunno, with a police dog or something if humans didn't work, rather than taser the poor thing.
Anyway, this all reminds me of a rather silly rhyme I learnt in primary school..
Mary had a little lamb, she tied it to a pylon,
10,000 volts went up its bum and turned its wool to nylon.
Sorry. Couldn't resist.

sheep are some of the dumbest animals on earth. if the sheep is not working with you. get a dog.. its not a new technology... NO need to inflict harm into a animal that wont harm you. Sheep dogs LOVE rounding up sheep.

I read that it was a ram. Ever seen rams fighting? I have so I can well understand why the police used their taser. In actual fact as electric cattle-prods are illegal in the UK the police probably broke the law but I don't suppose the sheep has a good barrister!
