I'm surprised the wolves were even able to find the sheep in that terrain. The greyer ones blend quite well.

If only the dog could save them from the slaughter house
arguably a wolf is also classifiable as a "slaughter house"
I believe these sheep are bred for their wool
They still go to the slaughterhouse at a fraction of their usual lifespan
Which probably still gives them longer lives than the average wild sheep
A quick google:
Wild sheep(mouflon) live 8 to 12 years in the wild.
Farmed sheep are killed at 3 to 6 years old (excluding lamb which are killed at between 10 weeks to 6 months old)
So that’s a resounding no.
I mean, don't get me wrong, humanity is definitely to blame for this, but I really doubt a domesticated sheep has the same life expectancy in the wild as a mouflon
You mean the domesticated sheep doesn’t have the instincts anymore to run from predictors? My dog also doesn’t have the same instincts as a wild wolf but I’m not gonna kill and eat them because of that.
Oh the irony of your bleating 😂
Sheep is just smelling the smells
Maybe, but they are social animals
Sheep see the dog as part of the herd, since it's a guard dog. The reaction seems natural, basically a sheep comforting a "sheep" after a traumatic situation. Don't ask the sheep why the "sheep" was able to fight off two wolves tho :d
SUPER SHEEP!
herd animal psychology really.
or at least that's what i like to think. Psychology sucks.
Is it because they see the guard dog as the g.o.a.t of the sheeps? (-:
That sheep is just built different.
Got that dog in him.
That's not his blood btw
Call an ambulance. But not for me
Is there a video or something that goes along with this?
Bro proper fucked up the wolf I think you can see the spiked collar
Yep you sure can
This is not wholesome, this is sad
The dog is fine that's not his blood.
Who said it had to be wholesome?
