Shepherds ask vacationers: Give sheep a nudge
Lower Saxony: Shepherds and sheep breeders ask holidaymakers to give sheep lying on their backs a push so that the animals can get up again. Bearing sheep or breeds with short legs are mostly affected, as a spokeswoman for the rural people of Lower Saxony announced on Monday. It happens again and again that animals lie helplessly on their backs and need support. Laypersons should then grab the sheep’s fur and give it a shove. That saves the lives of the animals.
The sheep are used for coastal protection, they eat the grass on the dikes on Lower Saxony’s North Sea coast with the right bite depth and trample the scars with their hooves, as the spokeswoman said. The animals are outside almost all year round. However, walkers should never pet, tease or drive sheep off paved paths. Restlessness is not good for the animals.
