Thankfully, it has now (as of 4th November) finally been rescued and has gone for some TLC and a much overdue shear. I for one am absolutely delighted.
Don't be. The activists who spend time caring for her were decided by the farmers who want to get the now famous sheep to be an attraction at a petting zoo.

Any recorded pictures on the rescue mission of the lonely sheep on Scottish cliff.?
@@Sonia.669 Activists built trust with the sheep before the farmers swooped in smelling a profitable attraction.
I posted a video, but RUclips decided it was a scam.
Can you confirm how it happened?
@@Boo-pv4hn A group of activists met the sheep over three days. Gaining her trust.
Then the farmer asked them to miss a day so he could move cattle.
While the activists were gone, the farmers got together and took the sheep.
The plan the activists had was to take her to a sanctuary where she would live her live away from the public eye and be at peace.
Instead, she's been front and centre for papers and tv.

I feel sorry for the poor thing. Why cannot someone be kind/carinh enough, to rescue it & reunite it with other sheep. I'm sure it would be happier. Where's the concern/compassion. ?
Animals like humans, are social beings.
She has been rescued and is on her way to Dalscone Farm in Scotland to her forever wonderful home
@@cherylfergerson4507 That's great! Good news.
@@cherylfergerson4507 Not so wonderful actually.

The plan was to send her to a sanctuary to live with other sheep. That's what the activists who'd spent time growing a bond with her planned.
The farmers smelled money. A sheep made famous to send to a petting zoo where after having no contact with humans will be made front and centre.
@@cherylfergerson4507 that's great news ❤
I wish people would have the same compassion. For our elderly in nursing homes
Someone please crowdfund a rescue mission
It’s been rescued.
Domesticated sheep need to be shorn once a year since they are unable to shed. The weight of the matted wool is going to cause it’s skin to tear and become chronically infected. Should it ever lose it’s footing and fall over sideways, chances are it won’t be able to get up again.
This sheep has been rescued & gone to a wonderful farm for the rest of her life. Shes been shorn & looks amazingl..her name is Fiona ❤
The sheep 🐑 would like a partner 🐏
Fk sake the people have spoken and the sheep needs to b rescued ❤
Whenever I see the passive tense I know it's some do-gooder with zero application. A human feeling that way would do something practical to sort it. What you're actually doing is called problem transfer, not owning up to the reality that as you own the problem, it's up to you to sort it. Let us know how it goes.
@@JelMain fk u ......some do gooder, u think u better that most
Fiona was rescued a few weeks ago can see it in tubeu. Safely at Dalscomb farm in Scotland now. Health is fine. Sheared.
If it was a illegal immigrants invaders they would rescue it. Poor thing
And putting in million £ homes and 5 star hotels.
if it was a Dog they would rescue it
A cat would rescue itself too
Farmer was right about them being suicidal. I once nearly got hit by a ewe that just randomly jumped off a cliff above me and on another occasion, I watched a ewe walk up to a wire fence, stick her head through and then lie down, so she was choking herself and would have died if I hadn't rescued her. They're also fond of walking into bramble patches and getting their fleeces so badly tangled that they get stuck and will die without intervention, or they roll on their backs and get stuck, then die...
I would also want to die if someone was exploiting me
When I was in Canada in 89, I was walking along the snowy high street and a geezer jamp off ten floors.... SPLAT.... Just a red splatter on the snow and a pile of clothes and meat.
If they were able to rescue it now, they were able to rescue it two years ago. Disgraceful that the poor creature spent so much time alone. There is just no excuse for that.
Thank you for letting us know, I'm glad he's joined a flock. I would have saved him ❤
I agree. People are idiots. I could see immediately how it could be rescued. I used to be a climber. It isn't rocket science. Anyways she's been rescued now
@@SuckasNeverPlayMe spot-on
That sheep should be rescued, So that it can write it's autobiography titled " TWO YEARS ALONE IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS".
😂😂😂😂😂.
Shearing is caring
🤣
Ewe know what they should do stop being sheepish and help her!
Im so sad about this
This is absolutely disgusting how would he like to be left there if it was a human you would find a way to get them .
What about those lonely penguins in Antartica - trapped on ice bergs. Only cost £6m to get one back.
That’s not in Antartica though is it .
Get a rescue mission going ,,it needs some friends
Please update us if she is rescued. Sheep are very gregarious and she will be suffering a lot!
She has been rescued and is on her way to Dalscone Farm in Scotland
Oh thank God! Thank you so much for telling us all !! @@cherylfergerson4507
I cannot stand non-farming city folk who try to tell farmers and ranchers how to do their jobs.
Yeah, it is always the ignorant that screams the loudest.
I can't stand city folk either, and I live in a city.
The fleas are roaming in that wool man
The sheep is trying to give people nits
"Are they lonely," OMG with what's going on in the world, I dont know anymore.
surely someone can help it
This sheep now named Fiona was saved by 5 highlanders. Her name came from a famous sheep called Shrek. He was rescued in New Zealand 2004 and featured on the the Bondi Vet show. Shrek’s fleece weighed 27kg/59.5lbs. Shriek is the most famous, but Chris, a Canberran ram found in Canberra, Australia 2005 holds the record of sheared fleece at 41kg/90.3lbs. He likely had only weeks to live due to his wool.
Other rescued fleece weights:
Shaun, 2014 Merino ram Tasmania 23.5kg/51.8lbs fleece.
Big Ben, 2014 Merino ewe New Zealand 28.9kg/63.7lbs fleece.
Sheila, ewe 2015 Tasmania 21.8kg/50.3lbs fleece.
Ewenice, ewe 2020 found in Victoria, Australia 20kg/44lbs fleece.
Baarack, Merino ram 2021 Victoria, Australia 35kg/77lbs fleece.
Shrekapo, Merino sheep 2022 from New Zealand with 18kg almost 40lbs of fleece.
Alex, 2022 Victoria, Australia produced a 40kg/88lbs fleece.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 probably doesn't like people/sheep
They are herding animals they need to be around animals
FIONA IS A RECORD BREAKER!!! The last record was Australia's Chris the sheep. Who had 41 K of wool/fleece. Fiona had 90 K!! Trying to get someone to notice.
Bro i know how this sheep feels he's all alone. Im all alone.
He is going to come back an awakened spirit animal and an enlightened one among his peers if he ever chooses to return.
@@ekl2947 did you just assume the sheeps gender?
@@ekl2947 did you just assume your own gender?
Poor Sheep, he must be so lonely 😢😢😢😢😢
She*
It's either that or being rescued and ending up in a mutton curry.
Yes he will look after thats what the sheep is worried about 😢 his back legs in his wellies😮
With his velcro gloves
The farmer making stupid facetious comments, showing that for him a sheep is just a money making thing. Sheep farmers have no emotional connections to their flocks, they don't feel rescuing one sheep is worth the effort. It's all about the money, not some cute wooly baa lamb. I've seen a dead sheep in the local field, left for days, while the rest of the flock grazes around its body. The farmer probably thinks we're all mad wanting to rescue it and sees it as a laugh.
Saying they're suicidal is a bit overdramatic, i think they get stuck, or have don't have much sence deprivation so probably dont understand the dangers they can put themselves in
Just get over there and give it a haircut.
He's in a safe place where he won't be eaten.
Fiona was happily rescued recently by Scottish men who love sheep and adventure can be seen on RUclips. She was sheared and is living a good farm life in Scotland as internet viral famous.
Ewe would expected this to happen
Ewe how woke!
@@martynblackburn9632 you have awakened. Awoken. Hello 😊
It must be going Bahhhmey
To believe that they would out thr sheep to sleep instead of rescuing the sheep. Now i imagine a sheep counting sheep. 🐑🐏
Asking a sheep farmer about a sheep's wellbeing is simply absurd. A sheep farmer! Someone who makes money by breeding and selling sheep like soulless, emotionless things, which they aren't, mind you. They're among the gentlest souls imaginable out there and capable of experiencing all sorts of emotions just like us humans. Joy, happiness, sadness, fear, LONELINESS. Plus they're HERD animals. They DEPEND on company. The sheep was literally CRYING OUT FOR HELP when Jillian Turner found her. But our sheep expert here says, "I don't really worry about it's psychology." Well, that's just cruel and plain stupid. How about throwing Mr. Jones down a cliff and leaving him behind to rot there all alone for the rest of his life without any hope of ever getting rescued? Quite frankly, I wouldn't be worrying about his psychology neither.
"Euthanize it or put it to sleep." No surprise this crap is coming from someone whose job requires blocking out all empathy towards the animals he exploits. Please, SAVE THE SHEEP and let her live the rest of her life free from harm in an animal sanctuary as she deserves! Her life MATTERS
The farmer is just a crude boor (no doubt he sees this as "being real"/tough/etc), try not to take it personal. Sadly, our society is not enlightened enough to understand all living things are interconnected.
@CheezCakeRiot... 👏👏👏👏👏
I heard it’s a Welsh sheep & it’s just trying to get as far away as possible from its Welsh lover
Poor farmer they must have had an argument.
Just looking at it its cost is clearly way too heavy for it! It needs shearing and then kept in the warm for a few months before being let out again
That guy seems like he just doesn’t care fs
Poor baby 😢
GB News impressing with its accuracy, as usual.
Small little update: The Sheep Game and The Hoof GP two youtubers saved Fiona
It's a mission for Voldenorks and her amazing buoyancy aids. No danger of sinking in a Force 10!
Emo Sheep
This is such a weird thing to report on, unless everyone concerned is vegan.
I feel like a sheep is my soul animal
Glad its ok😊
I hope the sheep will be rescued?😮😢
Give it some friends for flocks sake. 🙄❤️
And she probably eats lamb chops.....
didnt they c loan a sheep ??
Reminds me of GBNews RUclips channel
People make me laugh on here! They want this poor sheep rescued and for what? So it can end up in a slaughter house in a few weeks or months for your dinner. Bet many of you commentating aren't vegetarians, and are quite happy for millions of sheep just like this soul to end up on your plates. Absolute Hypocrites. Let it live out its life in peace on a hill, rather than in a blood filled horrific slaughter house.
It looks like three years of wool growth on that sheep. It could make a good mattress.
Or burger.
He doesn't have any sense of happiness ,funny how people go mad over one animals welfare but don't mind thousands being massacred in foreign wars
That’s a crazy statement, you think that people don’t care about the atrocities that occur in this world that’s run by mad people, people care about many things at the same time and that’s ok.
@@teresamoore3671 not enough people care to stop the killing im afraid ,but hey the sheep got rescued
Well... In the end, some guys who don't only think of sheep as mutton went and saved that sheep. At least some people still have a heart and don't only think about money.
At least it's not claiming universal credit and as to pay energy prices....
Maybe it's not lonely. Maybe he is antisocial.😂
I thought that was Bruce Willis for a second
It's warm enough with that coat. I don't intend to getting fleeced in rescuing it though.😊
I too think rehousing "Sheepy" or "Fiona" at Dalscone is a bad idea. 2 years of being alone is probably very traumatising, though in time got used to living a solitarily life. Indeed made the best of it as was found slightly overweight!
Reintroducing Sheepy / Fiona to other sheep and also the other animals kept at Dalscone will probably be very traumatic. Maybe it was a lifestyle choice for her to have strayed from the flock and live alone?
Surely the best outcome now is to make a unique set of kilts woven from the huge fleece that has just been sheared and sold to the highest bidder.
But of course the biggest money-spinner, especially with Christmas coming up, is to accept the reasons farmers breed sheep. After being humanely killed and skilfully butchered then hold a lottery for the many different parts.
She could end up as a special treat on many Christmas Day platters for the enjoyment of many.... and while devouring her get that special sense that you've been part of her special story.
But let's not forget Charity, I suggest the eyeballs be placed in a special "Schools Raffle" where two lucky "Biology" lessons involve kids dissecting them to teach them how the eyeball actually works and how the eye evolved in all animals due to evolution.
While it may be a bit early I wish you all a good festive Christmas season ... and will "Sheepy" / "Fiona" end up on your plate this Christmas?? Well if someone has the sense to adopt my special “Butcher Lottery” idea... it could be EWE!
Male newsguy sems to be laughing his ass off at the topic the whole time. Needs to get a new job.
People nowadays care much more about animals than about other people around. The world will be shaken to the core.
The Lord God is slow, but just.
I care more about animals than people. People are full of design faults.
Fund me I will rescue it today
