Video: This mass sheep protest from New Zealand is flocking brilliant

Regular consumers of the internet will know that sheep videos, more than any others, are pretty much a guaranteed source of hilarity. This is arguably the best of the lot.

Regular consumers of the internet will know that sheep videos, more than any others, are pretty much a guaranteed source of hilarity. This is arguably the best of the lot.

The video has been doing the rounds for just over a week at this stage so the only explanation we have for not having it up sooner is that the wool had obviously been pulled over our eyes until now. It’s amassed over 1.1 million hits on YouTube already and if that rate continues, it’ll hit at fleece-st two million by the end of the month

It was made by New Zealand farmer John Owen, who recognised the potential in having a big flock of sheep bleating all at once and harnessed it into what must be one of the funniest protests ever seen, we think ewe’ll agree.

Well either that, or you’ll think it’s so baaaad, it’s good; sorry for ramming all those sheep puns down your throat.

Enjoy!
