Novel means of transporting a sheep in Donegal

Just a sheep crammed into the back of a Ford Fiesta, nothing to see here...

Chances are you’re still a bit bleary-eyed this morning after the activities of the weekend, but we’re not trying to pull the wool over your eyes with the tweet and picture below; this actually happened in Donegal recently.

After all, who needs a trailer or a more traditional method of animal transport when you can simply cram a sheep into the back of a tiny little Ford Fiesta instead?

The poor fella looks just a tad claustrophobic in the back seat and hopefully he didn’t have long to travel before being set free.

Some would suggest that the owner of the animal should be disciplined in some way for his actions but we imagine that he’s lost the trust of his sheep and that’s punishment enough... for a farmer who deals primarily in sheep.
