This story is both really sad and really funny. It seems like something that would be in a cartoon.

quote:
ISTANBUL, Turkey - First one sheep jumped to its death. Then stunned Turkish shepherds, who had left the herd to graze while they had breakfast, watched as nearly 1,500 others followed, each leaping off the same cliff, Turkish media reported.

They were probably running from Tree hugger or Stupendous Man.

you know Angora sheep will kill themselves running into the farthest fence and then piling up and smothering the bottom sheep, It's not all that uncommon, its something they do when it rains.

Yup...it's there...at least an attempt at one.

Guess I should have specified that it was sad for the families that lost that money in with the sheep that died...not so much that the sheep dying was sad.

**shaking head**

Silly 'sips.
