Why are sheep so stupid?

450 Sheep Jump to Their Deaths in 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.

In the end, 450 dead animals lay on top of one another in a billowy white pile, the Aksam newspaper said. Those who jumped later were saved as the pile got higher and the fall more cushioned, Aksam reported.

"There's nothing we can do. They're all wasted," Nevzat Bayhan, a member of one of 26 families whose sheep were grazing together in the herd, was quoted as saying by Aksam.

The estimated loss to families in the town of Gevas, located in Van province in eastern Turkey, tops $100,000, a significant amount of money in a country where average GDP per head is around $2,700.

"Every family had an average of 20 sheep," Aksam quoted another villager, Abdullah Hazar as saying. "But now only a few families have sheep left. It's going to be hard for us."

sheep are herd anoimals and will follow the lead sheep no matter what.

Okay... so I know I'm strange... but I'd think that was a lot funnier if it was a human, whereas I just feel sorry for the sheep.

It's even sadder than most people equate to sheep. Sheep will actually go after other sheep that stray from the heard, and why they're the symbol for so many religions.

[Mikielikesit]

You know if you put a sheep in a corner they will keep trying to back up.......and don't ask me how I know this..............HEH HEH HEH
