[The animals were kept warm with
blankets after they were pulled from the water]


Good on the RSPCA man and the Firefighter's
that saved nine of them.
[Animal welfare officer Peter Warne entered
the water with two firefighters, using an inflatable
to pull the sheep up to the river bank.
Blankets were used to warm the animals quickly.]

[Mystic Mock]

I'm gonna follow the herd and say that it's great news that the Sheep are safe.

Tbh going to Kazanne's point about them being killed by next week, I don't get how anybody could kill an Animal that they've looked after and grown an attachment towards the Animal, I don't think that I could ever do that and I am a Meat eater.
