North Rhine-Westphalia: sheep tangled in fence: police help

Altena (dpa / lnw) - A sheep got tangled up in its mobile fence in Sauerland so unhappily that the police finally came to help. A local resident discovered the hopelessly wrapped animal on Sunday morning and alerted the police in her distress. When responders arrived at the pasture, they found the sheep trapped in the fence with its legs and wool. "The police officers freed the animal with scissors and kind words," the statement said on Tuesday. The sheep then jumped away unharmed.
