Five Sheep Rescued From An English Rooftop

Firefighters are used to rescuing cats from trees, but the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service recently carried out an unusual animal rescue: sheep – from a rooftop.

Five sheep became stranded on a tiled roof after they leapt across a gap from a neighbouring field in the village of Newmillerdam.

According to the BBC, West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said one woolly jumper had jumped the void and the other animals had followed –  which in itself isn’t that bizarre given that when one sheep moves, the rest will generally follow, regardless of why the original sheep moved in the first place.

Fireman Damian Cameron worked with a local landowner to create a makeshift bridge the sheep could use to escape from the roof.

The West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue took to Twitter to share the story including pictures in a series of pun-laden posts.  

One photo shows the animals perched above a window looking unbothered at the height they’d found themselves in while another saw the group flocked together on the slanted roof with some looking at the camera.

Fortunately, it all turned out well, as all five sheep alighted the bridge safely and back into the paddock.

The brigade said, “specialist animal husbandry training came in handy for the rescue officer involved.”

Moral of the story: Don’t be a sheep. Think for yourself.

We need to be informed and the world needs to be kept accountable.

But in an era of digital disruption and falling news audiences, the media must take a different view on what news is, and how stories are constructed.

Negative emotions have served us well during an age of flight or fight. But it’s the positive emotions that drive society forward – and that is the era we are currently stepping into.

Media has the power to move society and send a positive ripple out into the world.
