Fiona has been rescued call it a win. She was rescued by a team of professionals who all work with animals on a daily basis and have the welfare of the animals at the top of their priority lists. She had a wonderful home lined up which you and your supporters are now putting at risk. Intimidating the families and the very young children who live there. Flying Drones over private property and risking scaring and worrying all the other animals that live there including all the sheep that live out in the acres and acres of lush green fields that you are stopping Fiona getting to. You go on about how no one did anything for 2 yrs but neither did you and when you did you decided that the professionals who had already assessed the situation were wrong about going in by sea and tried that and then used thin nylon rope, no proper climbing equipment, and suggested using a sledge to tie her to to get up the cliffside. The guys who ultimately rescued Fiona, had all the right equipment, all the correct training and knowledge in climbing and sheep husbandry. They worked with the farmer and the SSPCA and had been planning for a while. They found her a loving home with properly trained people to care for her for the rest of her natural life, because Dalscone NEVER put an animal down except as a last resort when there really is nothing left and no chance of recovery, just recently they have spent thousands of pounds saving another young sheep who would've have been put to sleep by most others, they searched far and wide for a vet that could help and found one, she has now successfully had her operation and is on the way to a full recovery where she can be a sheep again, they work tirelessly for the education of people and the welfare of their animals. Has your sanctuary been approved by animal welfare or just by yourselves? Stop your ridiculous protests and just let Fiona get to the loving home that has been approved and prepared for her, where she will be loved, cared for, have vets on call, farrier on call, and regular proper treatments and nutrition provided.
You conveniently ignore the fact that literally the only people who knew the sheep was down there were the farmer who owned her (who had known for years that she was there but hadn't bothered to bring her up), and a kayaker who saw her on the beach while paddling by, assumed she had a way to get home, and then was shocked to paddle by a year later and see her still on the beach. THAT is when Fiona's predicament became known to the world. The farmer had two years to rescue her and didn't bother. Then he let this group come in and climb down to see her every day for several days, and only when they thought she was calm enough to be rescued without traumatizing her, did he tell them to take the day off because he had to move some cows on his land, and he rushed in a group to snatch her up and sell her to Dalscone. Who was it who jumped into action the second it was known that Fiona was unable to leave the beach? One group. And the farmer tricked them. Shame on him.
@alexandradixon3775 the farmer knew she was down there once he was informed that she was down there, he would've known she was missing and probably assumed she was taken by a fox or had fallen to her death and he also knew there was no way he could rescue her, the sspca knew and they also decided they couldn't rescue her as they thought the only way to get to her was by boat. Cammy and his team have been working on this rescue since last month and enacted it over the weekend, again what is the issue? She is safe, she is healthy, she is no longer stranded with little hope of being rescued. She wasn't sold to Dalscone they were asked to take her on as they were chosen as the safest place for her to be, with the best facilities and veterinary care for her. Every animal there has a life long home and those that do have to be moved on go to pet homes or other life long homes. The farmer made his choice to send her somewhere that was deemed safe by the relevant authorities and all paperwork would have been in place for that rescue, transfer of ownership and transportation of livestock. Cammy and the team had professionals in the animal medical field with them as well as knowledgeable professional farmers and animal welfare workers, they also had all the correct climbing experience and correct climbing equipment along with the winch and harness to ensure Fiona's safety as well as their own.
@@naomimcewan9744 "Intimidating the families and the very young children who live there. Flying Drones over private property and risking scaring and worrying all the other animals that live there" You all seem to be selling the same narrative to enhance the story and the revenue from it with no proof. From what I read. "Police Scotland said officers attended the scene on Sunday morning but that there were “no issues”." Now that doesn't stack up with your narrative does it. How could that be?

SHE HAS NOT GONE TO A PETTING FARM NO VISITORS TO THE FARM ARE TO TOUCH ANY OF THE FARM ANIMALS. SHE HAS GONE TO A GOOD PLACE WHERE SHE WILL BE WELL LOOKED AFTER AND FINALLY BE ABLE TO MIX WITH OTHER SHEEP. THIS IS THE BEST PLACE FOR HER TO BE WITH PLENTY OF PEOPLE TO CARE FOR HER AND VETS ALWAYS ON HAND
You people don't know what you are talking about. Dalscone is a wonderful place- they take impeccable care of their animals- they are trying to do something kind for an animal and they are being treated disgustingly. You don't know what animal welfare is
Would you like to be kept in a prison camp and paraded and made to perform for your supper? How long have you been vegan? Because if you're not then who are you to give advice on what's best for an animal whose body parts you would happily eat on any other day?
Fiona's rehabilitation is on hold because of these idiots intimidating the staff at Dalscone Farm. She's in a secret location until they quit their 'protest'. There's five months until dalscone opens to the public for the season. Fiona would have that time to get used to her new friends and her new home.
Sounds like you all think the sheep was yours to do with as you please. The farmer did what he wanted to do with his property, and now the sheep, Fiona, will live out her life at a lovely sanctuary. That's a win.
I am horrified that this group has so maligned the wonderful Dalscone Farm the family. You have allowed yourself to be misinformed to the point of causing a ruckus. Another situation where Satan is trying to manipulate through lies, stirring up anger, frustration, fear, trying to destroy what is good! God is the only God, of love, light, power. He wins. Those who cause harm under a wrongful spirit are seen by God. Many prayers of protection for this wonderful Farm and family. And prayers for those who do such wrong - to change and look to God and ask for forgiveness
This post on You Tube has inspired people to descend on the Farm and threaten the people and animals that reside there. There is power in words and actions and I don't think people always realize that. I am appalled by the behavior that this post has generated. I feel so sorry for the Farmers. The Farm is presently closed to the public and will be for five months. The plan was for "The Loneliest Sheep" to be brought there, assessed for her well being and cared for there for the rest of her life. Not exploited, but treated as a member of the family as so so many of the animals that reside there are. Just because they didn't get their way, they had to have a temper tantrum and start dissension. Is that holding the welfare of "The Loneliest Sheep" above their own ego. I think not. Deplorable!
Fiona will love her whole life now at the farm she is at closed for winter she is not in a petting zoo at all . If she went to the sanctuary don’t you think you have to pay to get in . Fiona fund is an amazing idea helping organisations. She is in the right place maybe animal rising are just disappointed cause someone rescued her first and of cause they would never have told the whole world they rescued her would they
@jonahwhale9047 they weren't allowed to scream at my old petting zoo. There were folk among the animals keeping an eye on things. I think your just too angry to see sense.
@jonahwhale9047 your language use, the way you put together your sentences. I agree there is power in words, in debate when folk write with obvious contempt it decreases what they are getting to.
@@sindyspeechley8165 So they breed animals, all kinds. Goats, llamas, alpaca, donkeys, sheep, cows and probably all the other animals on the farm. Where are they all going to? There simply aren't enough ppl who want farm animals as pets and those who do usually take rescues, so where are all the animals going? Caring people do not breed animals into existence to exploit them. They may look after them well but they are imprisoning and exploiting them and they are abusing the females who they have impregnated. Would you like to swap places with one of them?
@@muurrarium9460 Space-wise we are not overpopulated, it's just a case of how many we can feed. At the moment so much food, land and water is being wasted growing animals for little return that you make a very good point. If I recall correctly, it is reckoned we could feed a population of around 12 billion if we did away with animal agriculture. In the meantime you are correct, and even more so if the new mouths are animal flesh, dairy and egg eating ones.
Neither the farmer, nor SSPCA he called in, nor the Coastguard nor you could rescue this sheep, but Cammy Wilson (of "The Sheep Game") and friends did safely recover it while you defamed the farmer, made cheap political points and patted your own egos.
Yep, and AR ruined it themselves because all of their hate. Just like your post. They hated themselves right out of getting Fiona. Keep up the good work with the hate. @jonahwhale9047
@jonahwhale9047 The UK has one of the finest and longest-established Coastguard services in the world. In fact, a TV documentary series on the work they do has just finished showing. The Coastguard are reported as having said that with access to food, water and not being in any imminent danger or having any obvious health problems, there was no urgency in organising or risking rescue for an otherwise perfectly sound farm animal. I don't know what the SSPCA response was, but they might have had the same approach.
"deserves sanctuary, not to be turned into a spectacle. " And here you are, creating a spectacle. If you had any interest in the welfare of this animal, this video and the accompanying petition would not exist. Both have been created to bring attention to yourselves
As it turns out, these people are talking absolute rubbish. Their noses are put out because Fiona is safe in the care of the right people to look after her.
What is wrong with you people? Why the hatred for the farmer? He has been desperate to rescue her. And what's wrong with knowing Royalty? Why put that in? And why disrespect the farmer's wishes about which day to do the rescue? And what is the problem with a petting zoo? This sheep enjoys human company. And what is wrong with making money? You need to live, don't you? You guys all need to apologize multiple times for your arrogant superior attitudes and disrespect.
Fiona is going to the right place for her to be looked after. The Dalscone farm family care and love their animals very much. We wouldn't follow their live streams every day if they didn't care. They have already said she will remain with them for the rest of her life.
Seeing these people's disappointment at not being able to be the ones who got credit for the rescue lit up my day. They are being absolutely ridiculous. The sheep is now in a very good place for a sheep.
@jonahwhale9047 Wtf is a "proper sanctuary" for sheep!? It's a sheep. It's a domesticated farm animal! It's a genetic freak designed by humans that can't survive properly without humans. You think roads bother sheep!? Come on!
I think it's more that they were lied to, which is modus operandi in all of those in industries where animals are used for profit, and that now the sheep will be displayed as a freak, which is obviously better than having her throat slit, but not as lovely as a sanctuary run by the people who took the time and care to earn her trust. Can you fathom it now?
What was the snide conment about royalty about? What could that possibly have to do with this? Sounds like the farmer found the right team of experts. This video seems disingenuous.
I think someones ego has been hurt that well experienced, caring, equipped people where able to rescue the sheep before you where. Having been to dalscone yearly over the past 10 years I can confidently say that they always have the animals best interests at heart and go above and beyond for them. The farm is closed over winter so the sheep won't be around any humans other than those who will provide care for her.. When the farm is reopened the sheep will only be exposed to humans if they so wish to be.. She will out live her life there in the most caring, nuturing environment. You claim to be animal lovers yet currently protesting outside a farm causing distress to all involved. Disgusting!
They seem more upset that they didn’t get to rescue her first rather than being overjoyed that she was safely rescued. Dalscone would never harm or exploit any animal. We know that Fiona will be well cared for and loved. These activists should do some research before hurling accusations and flat out lying. Maybe they should follow Gina’s story, or Miracle’s story, even Honey. The farmers at Dalscone spare no expense for their animals. They are never abused or neglected. They are never sent to slaughter. They are all always well cared for and loved. You’re right, it is downright disgusting!!!
The family that owns Dalscone will give this very special sheep a wonderful home and she will never be lonely again. You should not give negative comments about this farm without learning about it first. There are people from all over the world who follow the Facebook page just to be uplifted by watching these wonderful people care for their animals and the huge following of people on their Facebook page who are amazed by their love for every living creature on their farm. ❤
Dalscone has just spent thousands of pounds fixing the leg of one of their sheep instead of putting it to sleep as other farmers would. They searched high and low for a surgeon to help her and put a plate in to stabilise her leg. This new sheep would spend her days in the field eating grass with other sheep and getting the best of care. All of their animals are loved, respected and well cared for. These protesters need to have their facts straight before spreading lies. Dalscones farmers are some of the kindest people you will find. My next life, I want to come back as one of their animals. Also, the sheep, goats and donkeys are separated from the public and only approach the fences if they want to. If they don't want to interest with humans, they don't have to.
Couldn't agree more!!! Dalscone is the very best place Fiona could be going with acres and acres of green fields, knowledgeable and caring Farmers who always go above and beyond for ALL the animals in their care. ❤❤
"A farmer is a person engaged in agriculture, raising living organisms for food or raw materials" These people are "raising" animals. Where are they all?
@EarthPoets Dalscones animals are all in their fields enjoying being the animal they are. Some do have to be moved on but they go to other knowledgeable pet homes or farms with the same philosophy as Dalscone they are NEVER sold on for profit or slaughter.
@@meganlawson4575 They sell allpaca wool and they are breeding other animals too. Where are all the animals? This is an animal exploitation farm, not a sanctuary. Why would you not want Fiona to go to a real sanctuary?
You are so right. She does not want to be a "celebrity" she just wants to live out her life as a normal sheep. She has survived alone for a long time. We lived in the NW Highlands of Scotland for 15 years and life for both humans and animals can be tough, especially in the winter. We rescued a "redundant" border collie destined for a bullet who had been kept in a shed for 4 years and a "nobody's cat" when we lived up there. It took much patience to help them live good lives. The cat sort of ruled over the dog at times but on the whole they got on okay with each other. One day our lovely dog died and we were heartbroken. The next day, my husband and I went for our usual walk minus our beloved dog. The cat for the first time in his life followed us wherever we went as if to say, "I'm here for you now!"
Do not sign the petition. There is no reason to give people with control issues access to an animal when they refuse to ignore the quality of care this animal is receiving. They lie and do everything they can in order to gain control which is a form of abuse. Interrupting the safety and care of an animal because their ego refuses to allow them to believe anyone else can care for an animal if it's not in their care is dangerous and wrong.
Fiona is going to a great place that really care about their animals. I'm so glad a team of experts got together & got her rescued & not this bunch of attention seeking so called animal rights advocates who know nothing about the real world of caring for animals.
She has been rescued by the right and very experienced people who understand sheep and dedicate their lives to them. She is going to the best place. Your ridiculous comments about exploitation is ridiculous. Awareness and education and care is what those people dedicate their life to. These rescuers are well known, respected and experienced in the rural and animal world. I am concerned by some news of inappropriate fundraising…. Not by them….. I’m sure we will hear more about that soon.
@jonahwhale9047 it slippy blue nylon rope, I live on a boat. The stuff is notorious for comming undone, we used some very briefly. This is not the right gear, they wer waiting for experts and experts came and got her. Likely they would have slowed the process with the best of intentions. Same as them causing mayhem on that farm recently. They slowed her getting in and settled.
@jonahwhale9047 check the video, she was nibbling grass as they took her up. In animal care (I studied for 2 years) it advises you to cover the animals eyes so you don't scare them. Ugh I've not got the energy to deal with you, likely one of the scorned rescue party.
Hardly. The farmer wants to remain anonymous. This over dramatic vegan group would've milked it something serious if theyd reacued her. Shes with people who know and understand livestock.
Aye mate, their ropework and that blue nylon rope was a deathtrap. Sheep are handled regularly from birth, they understand human touch. These folk mean well but I'd not trust them not to drop a bollock.
So sad to see that your post about this sheep has potentially lost her a great home and you’re creating nothing but distress for her now. You did an amazing thing highlighting her plight, you encouraged to be fair some genuinely nice and mad ‘idiots’ who risked themselves to rescue her so you WON YOU GOT HER RESCUED!! But this grab for attention under the guise of animal welfare is the opposite. It’s incredibly sad to see. If you genuinely want to see it through to the end why don’t you ask to visit and to see what sort of life she’ll have ahead of her rather than just assuming she’ll be used and abused?? And whilst your at it say THANK YOU to those farming community ‘idiots’ because they did what you couldn’t. If anyone is thinking of protesting based on this ‘urgent’ plea, please don’t would be incredibly sad if she lost this home where anyone can see for themselves how she’s doing in future.
Have you made any money from this RUclips video? The rescuers are proper people able to conduct a rescue which you were not. The Hoof GP and his mates are real animal lovers and they know what they are doing.
@@netleyros So they are breeding farm animals to sell to others and you are happy with that? Have you ever considered if it would be best if the animals weren't bred in the first place?
@netleyros without breeding there would be no animals. I live no far from Dalscone and animals here have a good life it's not a circus it's a farm.Fiona will have a good life.
the appropirate professionals rescued her, those farmers have years of experience and knowledge and will give that sheep its healthiest fullest life in a normal agricultural enviroment.
This sheep cannot be going to a better home. I support and subscribe to Dalscone and that sheep will be loved and cared for like royalty. I watch this farm daily and have visited many times, best farm around.
@EarthPoets they have rare breeds, the educate children and adults on animal husbandry, they care for and love each and every animal they have. None of their animals ever go to slaughter and those that are rehomed are rehomed to loving pet homes or other farms who share the same philosophy as Dalscone. No animal is exploited or abused at Dalscone. They are watched and cared for around the clock, there are vets on call, a farrier on call, knowledgeable staff who have the animals welfare at the top of their priorities. They go above and beyond for every animal there from the smallest insect to the biggest of their cows.
@@naomimcewan9744 I've read the same PR from about 6 different ppl. Still I guess with so much £ to be made by them from this poor sheep it's no surprise.
End of the day, she’s a sheep and belongs on a farm with a flock. I think you guys are only pissed because you didn’t get the publicity for ‘rescuing’ her! If you prioritised the animals welfare over your need for publicity and feeling of ownership of her, you’d be happy she was rescued by professionals that know how to look after a sheep! It’s embarrassing really 🐑
The place where she is going is owned and run by such loving people. She will not be exploited by them. She will be cared for and loved for the rest of her life. You cannot make a judgement call about her rescue without knowing anything about the people who will be caring for her. I have followed Dalscone Farms for over a year and have never seen anything other then caring concern for their charges. Don't be so quick to judge if you do not know these people.
PR videos aren't going to show you anything negative. It's a petting zoo "with outdoor trampolines, a big bouncy castle, sandpit... If your (sic) visiting us be sure to say hello to all of our beautiful animals on the Farm! They will be super excited to meet you and you can even feed them some tasty treats! Our animals are world famous due to the popularity of Dalscone Facebook Live videos which have over 30 million views!" That's a lot of revenue.
Penned in ?....the farm is closed throughout the winter. There was a nice cosy enclosure for her ready so she could settle in quietly and be introduced to other sheep slowly to make sure she was comfortable with them. Then she had acres of feilds to go to with the rest of the herd. These farmers love their animals. Nothing is hidden they have cameras everywhere that are available to anyone to watch the animals 24/7...and might i add these cameras have saved quite a few of these animals lives when it comes to lambing season. And these" PR videos" you mention actually help the animals. If any of them fall sick or need medical attention these farmers make sure they get what they need no matter of the cost with the help of these videos. You should be ashamed of yourselfs..if you loved the animal as much as you say you would be pleased she was going there or atleast talk to the farmers and and do some research before bad mouthing them.
@@michellebrown8742 Can you hear yourself? "These farmers love their animals" & "when it comes to lambing season" . Where are all the lambs from the past 5 years? Where are the sheep who can no longer produce lambs? Have you been keeping count?
These ppl did not save her. The farmer got ahold of help after multiple agencies said it was to dangerous. A few farmers, a climber, and a hoof trimmer saved her and named her Fiona. She is now safe at a family farm. Fiona was named because of 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.
If you thought this video would bring attention to your organization, Animal Rising, you are absolutely right. But the attention it has brought is mostly negative. If I see this logo again, I may turn a blind eye to whatever you have to say since even after Fiona was rescued you weren't happy. The money that will be donated because of this rescue (and fleece shorn) will go to two worthy charities, SSPCA and RSABI. Be happy
You obviously have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Research before putting out these damaging assumptions! You are putting her at risk by carrying on. Dalscone is not a petting park ..... It is so much more. Shame on you.
After being in solitude in wide open green spaces to being in an enclosure to be fed for entertainment by masses of people passing through the gaudy circus environment.
@@dawnadriennetaylor970 there sheep graze in the fields. The park is now shut until April, so she has time to adjust. Once she has made some friends, she will live out her life in a herd on the fields.
Fiona will be perfectly cared for in fields with other sheep. Not to make money or for slaughter. Let her live her best life in green fields where she can be loved, fed and warm. Shame on those trying to block this rescue learn your facts.
I suggest that you look at Dalscone & you will realise what a wonderful home Fiona will have. The Best family are totally devoted to all the animal at the farm. & their welfare is comes first.
I'd never heard of it but have just looked at the gaudy, brightly coloured website that looks nothing like a sanctuary i.e. retreat but an entertainment centre where the animals are enclosed in small areas. Sanctuary = a retreat not a circus. What an inappropriate environment, especially for this particular sheep who's been isolated and left for 2 years by the farmer.
@@dawnadriennetaylor970 the sheep run in large paddocks. They come in if they are injured or sick. Otherwise they have a chill life. The fun park is separate and the public can see and get excited about animals and.wanting to protect them. The goats sheep and donkeys choose I'd they interact with humans. Donkeys are brought in if it rains but are generally in the paddocks. The goats lose condition in the paddock and do better indoor where it's warm
@@EarthPoets they are breeding rare sheep breeds. Don't those animals have a right to existence and not extinction? Also people have a right to make a living and feed their families. These are not bred as meat animals.
Is it any wonder that the farmer preferred to have actual sheep farmers rescue Fiona, rather than actvists who spend their energy maligning farmers?? And speaking of exploitation, how much is this video going to make your organization in fundraising dollars? Had you truly cared about exploitation, you never would have made this video. And let's be real here. Fiona is a domestic sheep, not a wild animal. She's a herd animal and every instinct in her makes her feel safer in a herd.
I'm very glad Fiona has been rescued by professionals and not by these clowns who just wanted to score some more views. Now Fiona can live a peaceful life at Dalscone where she will receive the right and certified care. If these ''activists'' would have ''rescued'' her, who knows what kind of treatment she would have received.
@jonahwhale9047 her rehab has started in silence with others animals around her - she will move into a larger space with a few friends and soon move to a flock that public do not have access to - I understand the place they intended sending her to also runs petting session ie Eloise the lamb … is this free As far as your diet is concerned that’s your business … no one else’s and you do not have the right to question others Oh last question were you one of the protester who terrified the life out of the farmers wife and his family ??? Shame on them for causing this anguish
she was so happy to have the company! On the way out - while she was wrapped in a bag most would be in a state of panic but not Fiona, she started grazing on grass - just relaxed and content. What a trooper. She will be fine.
Why would the farmer slaughter a healthy young ewe? He's been trying to rescue her but the SPCA did not have the right equipment and he deemed it too dangerous to try to go down himself. You are trying to damage the reputation of someone who doesn't deserve it.
basically, when you read about a sheep having a "gentle soul", and not seeing a sheep as an animal that has different feelings and reactions that humans. I would trust the people that did rescue Fiona, as they work with sheep and other farm animals every single day. They have to read the emotions of the animal, for REAL, not as they want the animal to feel. Also, what was wrong, all along, was that people were making this rescue into TOO MUCH OF A BIG DEAL. The rescue people knew enough about sheep to think of a much easier and less stressful way to get Fiona out quickly. Leave her wool ON, and let it protect her going UP. TO tie her down to a sledge would cause panic. But putting her inside a basic bag where she had some movement and her wooly coat to protect her... she is actually eating grass when they rescuers paused. The fewer people involved the better, how big was the group of "professionals" going to be? How much noise bringing them all in. How much consultation? Everyone would have their opinion. In this case, these people that know farm animals KNEW fast is best. A SLEDGE? are you crazy? A sheep is not a human being. Any animal in a rescue needs some sense of control (with being able to move legs a bit) and to not see what is going on. Let's strap the sheep to a sledge like we do people rescue. I'm sorry but a lot of people coming to LOOK at the sheep, won't bother the sheep. If the petting zoo does it correctly, they'll see if Fiona is ready to join a flock and if not she can choose her own future. I know this is more anti petting zoo, and also "Wait, someone looked at our plans and felt uncomfortable???" Your anthropomorphize version of Fiona would only endanger her. I bet people would have been "Oh it's going to be all better soon Fiona, we don't mean to hurt you, you will be fine" talking to her during the entire rescue (animal experts can tell you WHY YOUR STRANGE VOICE speaking close to her head would freak her out as she was being pulled up). SIMPLE IS BEST WITH ANIMALS. SHEEP AS CHANGED BY HUMANS INTO FARM ANIMALS ARE VERY SENSITIVE, and Temple Grandin would tell you the quick version with as few people as possible, was the BEST.
You all are shameful, Dalscone Farm is more than a petting zoo. Do your homework before slandering the Best family and their true intentions, giving Fiona a fantastic forever home!!!
Hey Animal Rising, while you are flying drones over Dalscone , make sure you show your followers pictures of their happy sheep in the fields, instead of spreading and encouraging lies and harassing animal lovers like Dalscone. Being extremely radical doesnt make you right or make you do whats best for the animal. Be transparent with your followers instead of lying to brainwash them to do your bidding. I hope Dalscone sues for slander. They are caring, ethical people carrying out a business to feed their families. I understand most of tou are probably unemployed, but people so have a right to make money.
have you looked at their web site? it's a noisy vulgar theme park for kids. Then there's the video with people crowding around an indoor pen while a man with a megaphone is yelling information about baby goats while holding one up for everyone to see. That is exploitation.
Fiona is alone no more, you should be happy for her new conditions. Seems you guys failed to rescue Fiona and now feel a tad embittered that others got to her first. Maybe you should calm down and let her be, she is fine. You value the contact between human and animal enough to have spent a few days building a rapore with Fiona before considering pulling her up, therefore, you must appreciate that others can also build a rapore with her?. Let it be and show your happiness that Fiona is well, loved and cared for. Better friends than enemies.
Sounds like you had the chance to rescue her multiple times but YOU DIDNT. YOU wanted to "Establish Trust" which sorry to break it to you, wasn't for her sake it was for yours. You wanted to feel good about yourself and pat yourselves on the back. That poor sheep didn't need "Trust" or its "Faith in Humanity" restored. IT NEEDED TO BE RESCUED. Now someone else did it and you have to make them the bad guys so you can still be the heroes.
Places like Dalscone help kids have a better attitude towards animals. Not every family can keep pets, so visiting places like Dalsone helps young people appreciate animals more. The animals are well looked after there.
@@EarthPoets what exactly is your vision for our upland rural areas? What is it you want to see? No sheep, no farmers, no communities..is that what you want ? What is your vision? The ewes round here live 8 to 12 years and are cared for all their lives. If people ate more mutton the ram lambs would live longer too. We have sheep cos of farming. You can't grow food crops on the uplands and rewilding involves herbivores and meat. We understand you mean well but you don't speak for any us.
@@janevaughangronow9786 I don't think that terrain is a good enough argument for killing sentient beings who do not want to die. I suspect there are many things you are against that you wouldn't necessarily have a total solution for, but that doesn't stop you calling them out for the crimes they are. Animal farmers will be seen by all as worse than slave owners in the not too distant future. With the climate crisis, the power dynamic is shifting even more quickly.
Dalscone Farm will take the best care of Fiona. your so wrong about Dalscone I can't believe my ears. She will have so much love and care get away from the farm and leave this lovely family alone. Maybe you all should update your information about Dalscone before thinking the way you's have what a sin #letFionacomehome
Humanity can be excellent man, crazy things we are! Its a shame this team didnt get the glory but this sheep is off to live with other sheep in a sanctuary. Celebrate for her! Also, ive worked on farms and sheep are well used to being handled. Recon thats why farmer let a more fast moving team in as it was better to shift her faster.
The farmer did nothing for 2 years until he realised there was global interest and profit to be made. That sheep was not used to being handled so it's not the same as your experience. This team clearly aren't about "glory" but wanted to place the sheep in a quiet sanctuary instead of a petting zoo where people go to feed the animals in a small enclosure for entertainment.
@@dawnadriennetaylor970 the majority of sanctuarys tend to have public visiting as a way to fund the program. It has been hanled in the past and would understand human touch as on a farm we treat them and shear them regularly. I hate to say it but with the best of intentions this load of woke muppets don't have a clue about farm animal husbandry quite clearly. The sheep has evaded the dinner plate and continuing to leave it isolated whilst they try to slowly befriend it was a mental plan. Also I'm a boater and their climbing equipment and knotwork was utterly useless, they would likely have needed rescue themselfs.
@@el631 She's going to be a performer in a side show run by ppl who make £ from exploiting imprisoned animals. Why wouldn't you want her to go to a real sanctuary? Got £ interest in the project?
Fiona has been rescued by experts, checked out by vets, has been shorn of the burden of wool, and taken to a place where she will be loved. She is not being exploited or harmed in any way. You do not know the Dalscone Farm and the wonderful people who care for their animals. She will be monitored (not petted) 24/7 on camera. Your group may have good intentions but it’s time to leave Fiona alone. She is safe and being well cared for. End of story.
😂 what idiots! Not all animals go to slaughter 🤦🏼♀️. Thanks goodness the Hoof GP and his friends are the ones that saved her, looked after her health and insured she will live a wonderful life in the way an animal should.
The definition of sanctuary is refuge. "with outdoor trampolines, a big bouncy castle, sandpit... If your (sic) visiting us be sure to say hello to all of our beautiful animals on the Farm! They will be super excited to meet you and you can even feed them some tasty treats! Our animals are world famous due to the popularity of Dalscone Facebook Live videos which have over 30 million views!" That's a lot of revenue.
@@dawnadriennetaylor970 there are no bouncy castles out in the sheep pastures where the sheep spend all of their lives. The fun park is how they make their living. The rare breed sheep are in the field. The goats do better in the sheds. You sound like you know nothing about Dalscone.
@@EarthPoets no. We love them because of the love they have for their animals. And honestly, we are just all shocked that anyone would think differently.
So fantastic that Fiona was eventually rescued by these 5 awesome white working class farmers 😀they obviously knew how to get things done! Being sheep farmers/sheerers they are best placed to take care of rescue op. Maybe you need more young lady students to discuss/argue till the cows come home before you act😂 inordinately feeble forever 😂
Amazing story well if anything by proving you could get to her she was noticed and rescued. Shows how resilient sheep are like I'd have thought during the summer months she would have got dehydrated and passed. Thanks to the attention people will keep a close eye on her so don't worry she'll be fine.
Thank goodness those clowns didn't have their way with her .... Idealistic sheep-worriers who really have no idea what they are talking about. Well done to the lads who actually rescued her.
While I commend your amazing efforts to help her, I do think these farmers mean well and have her best interests at heart. But you guys did an amazing thing and you should be proud. I think your presence enabled her to trust the farmers, so you helped save her. Keep up the good work. You should be proud. ❤
I was hoping to find out more about her rescue but instead of talking about it you simply look mad someone else did in one go what you failed in three… and now Fiona’s forever home is getting harassed by people who follow you. It really seems like your egos were bruised and you don’t actually care about her well-being.
The fact you’ve made a video and posted it on RUclips 😂 and you have the nerve to say the farmer is doing it for money. Farmers have fed you and your families for generations gone by and you have no respect for them at all. They are the heart beat of our nation who are always there providing and always will do. I don’t even know if you’re vegan but I’d put money on you are. World has gone mad
The irony of some of these comments is hilarious. The ones who are supporting the eventual outcome the most, and the ones who are pretending to care the most, are people who actually eat sheep, and wear wool. Yeah, makes complete sense listening to any of you hypocrites.. 😂
Omg are you guys for real!!!! Fiona was rescued by the best possible people, people who know what they are doing, it was done safely and carefully, she was then immediately checked over by SSPCA vets and is now being cared for, she is going to live out her best possible life with the most amazing farmers who give 100% care and attention to everyone of their animals. You guys dont have a clue about sanctuaries and to say you do is just wrong, ive worked for sanctuaries thanks very much. Dalscone is 100% the right place for Fiona. You have no say in where she was to go, the farmer who owned her did, and the amount of abuse and harassment you caused him is shameful!!!! Now your harassing and abusing the farm she is going to, to live the rest of her life out with where she will recieve all the care in the world, round the clock vet care when required....who are you so called animal carers cus all i see is pure bad publicity bouncing straight back at you for your sheer lack of care for Fiona. Gawd help any animal that has to rely on you to care for it
Hi animal carer. Just out of interest, how long have you been vegan? "she is going to live out her best possible life" How is it I keep seeing the exact same phrases?
@EarthPoets 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 really that's all you have, yes she is so keep reading it. I have an HND in Animal Care , Wildlife Rehabilitation and Welfare too too, so I ain't interested in the lies you are all spreading about where she's going and what's been or not been done and by who, get the facts right before slurring peoples names and reputations.
@@MsCos45 Sorry but an HND in helping people exploit animals doesn't come close to being vegan and actually caring enough to not have animals killed for your plate. Allow me to offer you the floor to regale us with your expertise and to explain how these ppl breeding animals is a good thing.
@EarthPoets Oh I see you can only be a carer of animals if your a Vegan, thankyou so much for enlightening me, now I feel so under educated in caring for animals and the planet and the environment. I bow to your godly being of lentils and pulses, roots and berries shame on me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now in the real world go enjoy a salad and leave the real work to the grown ups, have a nice day trying to harass and intimidate someone who cares what you have to say.
What a load of rubbish, she has been rescued by cammy & graham ie the sheep game & the hoof GP & has been sheared & taken to her forever home to be pampered for the rest of her life so stop the lies, honestly some people
@jonahwhale9047 The difference is that mountain rescue teams are well trained and experienced. I wouldn't trust these hippie vegan activist troublemakers with cleaning a rabbit hutch.
@jonahwhale9047 Irrelevant. They know when a sheep is stressed or not stressed, or at risk of injury or not. Cammy is a professional shearer and saw that Fiona was 'wrapped in a mattress' by her heavy fleece, as he described it. These are sheep farmers and shearers who spend their lives with sheep and understand the species inside out. Compare that with these hippy activists. They caused extra stress to Fiona by delaying her arrival at Dalscone. They stressed her new owners by staging an intimidating 'protest' on the property and had to be removed by Police. They are not responsible people. I wouldn't trust them with any animal. I don't know what damage they may have done to Fiona if they'd tried using a sledge. Are any of them experienced with mountain rescues of animals? I doubt it. And I'd be worried about any of them rescuing me. Their whole mode of operation was by rule breaking.
@@rachelLadyD where could she be free? she isn't a wild animal, she at least needs to be sheared regulary and for that it is best to handle her frequently so she isn't freaked out
@@rachelLadyDyou know even if she went to your sanctuary she’d still “be in prison”, right? I assume they have fences, a barn, etc, no different than the place she’s at now. She has pasture and friends and will get her yearly haircut, and that’s all a sheep really wants
Not true. She did not go to a petting zoo. The ppl who saved her were contacted by the farmer but volunteered to help. After multiple agency’s told the farmer it was too dangerous to try and save her.
I appreciate you effort and concern, But you don't know this Farm they treat there animals very well, they are a no kill farm and they are not a petting zoo. they will treat her like a queen please don't bring any more negative comments against them. Go to the farm and see for yourself they a great bunch of good hearted people

You people do not know what your are talking about. Why don’t you learn the facts before you say anything! Dalscone farms is a wonderful place for animals. No one is explaining animals there. Never had any animal been slaughtered there!!! Learn the real story before you cause so much trouble!!!
* The farmer, realising that he had a sheep awol 2 -3 years ago, should’ve definitely asked for outside help before it got to this. He undoubtedly thought it was one of many sheeps, and his little problem would eventually solve itself. (which it normally would) * Thankfully for the sheep, a keen-eyed kayaking lady noticed it twice, two years apart. On this second encounter, our mariner quickly called it in. * Then! Amazingly, now people cared about the sheep. Even people who enjoyed a bit of sheep with their mint sauce on Sunday. * And as if by magic, this marooned hardy beast finally had company, a kind yet ideological group of people descended. They were willing to invest their time, braving the descent down the cliffs that had trapped her. They spoke to her, they fed her, even with something other than grass, they took their time to get to know this lonely soul trapped on the edge of an ever-shrinking British Isles. *But then the farmer started to get pissed off with all these sheep-whispering out-of-towners interfering with their crazy ideas. *So he waited and waited and humoured these well-wishers until some fine young men showed up, ropes in hand, to winch the stricken beauty from her cliff face. *Which they did… AND EVERYONE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER… *or so we’re told. Our farmer here could have stopped this situation from becoming what it has. Growing up on my grandparent’s farm in Lancashire and witnessing my granddad’s mistreatment and often neglecting his animals as a child, there isn’t any excuse for his lack of concern in the first instance; some farmers, unfortunately, are motivated by profit. They don’t see animals as living beings that feel, and when they get caught out, they let pride get in the way, often ignoring the issue. Farmers are incredibly well-connected in their locality, their resourceful. He could have asked for help long before it got to this.
I don't think she is in an bad place even if the people are making money and clicks with her. But you filmed as well so for me there is not a big difference. But you were played dirty by the farmer and should get the acknowledgment for the work you did. Climbing down there and winning her trust was a good thing for the rescuers. You should have worked together.
Dalscone Farm is not "making money" on Fiona. They have set up a Fiona's Fund to go to two wonderful organizations. Dalscone incurs the cost of Fiona's care, willingly.
Why is this video still up. These people were misinformed. Fiona went to a lovely family farm Not a petting zoo. They love and care for their animals . They are kind and gentle people. Experts !
Fiona was/ is going to a wonderful place who love there animals like there children leave them alone to look after her... You lot would have killed yourself and the sheep..she will definitely NOT be going to slaughter....
Dalscone is not a petting zoo. Dalscone is a working farm and a sanctuary for animals who are hand raised and orphaned ect. They are making wonderful accommodations for the sheep so she is not stressed ect. You need to mind your comments when speaking about places you have no idea about. Shame on you.
The animals you all are making judgement on, are in for the winter. The sheep u do see are in for care and attention. All the other sheep are out in acres of fields. Please do your research respectfully and not go to there place where they live and scare them all. The Best family are caring farmers with years of experience in farming agriculture and animal husbandry. Please you need to look into this more and not judge on first impressions.
Fiona has been rescued call it a win. She was rescued by a team of professionals who all work with animals on a daily basis and have the welfare of the animals at the top of their priority lists. She had a wonderful home lined up which you and your supporters are now putting at risk. Intimidating the families and the very young children who live there. Flying Drones over private property and risking scaring and worrying all the other animals that live there including all the sheep that live out in the acres and acres of lush green fields that you are stopping Fiona getting to.
You go on about how no one did anything for 2 yrs but neither did you and when you did you decided that the professionals who had already assessed the situation were wrong about going in by sea and tried that and then used thin nylon rope, no proper climbing equipment, and suggested using a sledge to tie her to to get up the cliffside.
The guys who ultimately rescued Fiona, had all the right equipment, all the correct training and knowledge in climbing and sheep husbandry. They worked with the farmer and the SSPCA and had been planning for a while. They found her a loving home with properly trained people to care for her for the rest of her natural life, because Dalscone NEVER put an animal down except as a last resort when there really is nothing left and no chance of recovery, just recently they have spent thousands of pounds saving another young sheep who would've have been put to sleep by most others, they searched far and wide for a vet that could help and found one, she has now successfully had her operation and is on the way to a full recovery where she can be a sheep again, they work tirelessly for the education of people and the welfare of their animals.
Has your sanctuary been approved by animal welfare or just by yourselves? Stop your ridiculous protests and just let Fiona get to the loving home that has been approved and prepared for her, where she will be loved, cared for, have vets on call, farrier on call, and regular proper treatments and nutrition provided.
You conveniently ignore the fact that literally the only people who knew the sheep was down there were the farmer who owned her (who had known for years that she was there but hadn't bothered to bring her up), and a kayaker who saw her on the beach while paddling by, assumed she had a way to get home, and then was shocked to paddle by a year later and see her still on the beach. THAT is when Fiona's predicament became known to the world. The farmer had two years to rescue her and didn't bother. Then he let this group come in and climb down to see her every day for several days, and only when they thought she was calm enough to be rescued without traumatizing her, did he tell them to take the day off because he had to move some cows on his land, and he rushed in a group to snatch her up and sell her to Dalscone.
Who was it who jumped into action the second it was known that Fiona was unable to leave the beach? One group. And the farmer tricked them. Shame on him.
@alexandradixon3775 the farmer knew she was down there once he was informed that she was down there, he would've known she was missing and probably assumed she was taken by a fox or had fallen to her death and he also knew there was no way he could rescue her, the sspca knew and they also decided they couldn't rescue her as they thought the only way to get to her was by boat.
Cammy and his team have been working on this rescue since last month and enacted it over the weekend, again what is the issue? She is safe, she is healthy, she is no longer stranded with little hope of being rescued.
She wasn't sold to Dalscone they were asked to take her on as they were chosen as the safest place for her to be, with the best facilities and veterinary care for her. Every animal there has a life long home and those that do have to be moved on go to pet homes or other life long homes.
The farmer made his choice to send her somewhere that was deemed safe by the relevant authorities and all paperwork would have been in place for that rescue, transfer of ownership and transportation of livestock. Cammy and the team had professionals in the animal medical field with them as well as knowledgeable professional farmers and animal welfare workers, they also had all the correct climbing experience and correct climbing equipment along with the winch and harness to ensure Fiona's safety as well as their own.
@@naomimcewan9744 "Intimidating the families and the very young children who live there.

From what I read. "Police Scotland said officers attended the scene on Sunday morning but that there were “no issues”." Now that doesn't stack up with your narrative does it. How could that be?

Dalscone Farmers love their animals and treat them with love and kindness. She will live a wonderful life there and never go into the food chain.
You people don't know what you are talking about. Dalscone is a wonderful place- they take impeccable care of their animals- they are trying to do something kind for an animal and they are being treated disgustingly. You don't know what animal welfare is
Would you like to be kept in a prison camp and paraded and made to perform for your supper? How long have you been vegan? Because if you're not then who are you to give advice on what's best for an animal whose body parts you would happily eat on any other day?
Fiona's rehabilitation is on hold because of these idiots intimidating the staff at Dalscone Farm. She's in a secret location until they quit their 'protest'. There's five months until dalscone opens to the public for the season. Fiona would have that time to get used to her new friends and her new home.
Sounds like you all think the sheep was yours to do with as you please. The farmer did what he wanted to do with his property, and now the sheep, Fiona, will live out her life at a lovely sanctuary. That's a win.
I am horrified that this group has so maligned the wonderful Dalscone Farm the family. You have allowed yourself to be misinformed to the point of causing a ruckus. Another situation where Satan is trying to manipulate through lies, stirring up anger, frustration, fear, trying to destroy what is good!
God is the only God, of love, light, power. He wins.
Those who cause harm under a wrongful spirit are seen by God. Many prayers of protection for this wonderful Farm and family. And prayers for those who do such wrong - to change and look to God and ask for forgiveness
She is fine right where she is. I saw the video of the people that rescued her and where she will be living, and she is doing just fine ..
This post on You Tube has inspired people to descend on the Farm and threaten the people and animals that reside there. There is power in words and actions and I don't think people always realize that. I am appalled by the behavior that this post has generated. I feel so sorry for the Farmers. The Farm is presently closed to the public and will be for five months. The plan was for "The Loneliest Sheep" to be brought there, assessed for her well being and cared for there for the rest of her life. Not exploited, but treated as a member of the family as so so many of the animals that reside there are. Just because they didn't get their way, they had to have a temper tantrum and start dissension. Is that holding the welfare of "The Loneliest Sheep" above their own ego. I think not. Deplorable!
Fiona will love her whole life now at the farm she is at closed for winter she is not in a petting zoo at all . If she went to the sanctuary don’t you think you have to pay to get in . Fiona fund is an amazing idea helping organisations. She is in the right place maybe animal rising are just disappointed cause someone rescued her first and of cause they would never have told the whole world they rescued her would they
Your absolutely correct. They were upset because they felt someone stole their thunder. @@maranda67lambeth84
@jonahwhale9047 they weren't allowed to scream at my old petting zoo. There were folk among the animals keeping an eye on things. I think your just too angry to see sense.
@jonahwhale9047 your language use, the way you put together your sentences. I agree there is power in words, in debate when folk write with obvious contempt it decreases what they are getting to.
@jonahwhale9047 unmolested lol, see right there! Your aggression is palpable.
Dalscone farm is the best place for Fiona. They are the most caring and loving farmers. She will have the best life with the best farm in the UK.
What do these farmers grow? And where does all they grow end up?
@@EarthPoets non of there animals go to slaughter.
@@sindyspeechley8165 So they breed animals, all kinds. Goats, llamas, alpaca, donkeys, sheep, cows and probably all the other animals on the farm. Where are they all going to? There simply aren't enough ppl who want farm animals as pets and those who do usually take rescues, so where are all the animals going?
Caring people do not breed animals into existence to exploit them. They may look after them well but they are imprisoning and exploiting them and they are abusing the females who they have impregnated. Would you like to swap places with one of them?
@@EarthPoets Caring people do not breed themselves, because the planet is already overpopulated.
@@muurrarium9460 Space-wise we are not overpopulated, it's just a case of how many we can feed. At the moment so much food, land and water is being wasted growing animals for little return that you make a very good point. If I recall correctly, it is reckoned we could feed a population of around 12 billion if we did away with animal agriculture. In the meantime you are correct, and even more so if the new mouths are animal flesh, dairy and egg eating ones.
Neither the farmer, nor SSPCA he called in, nor the Coastguard nor you could rescue this sheep, but Cammy Wilson (of "The Sheep Game") and friends did safely recover it while you defamed the farmer, made cheap political points and patted your own egos.
Yep, and AR ruined it themselves because all of their hate. Just like your post. They hated themselves right out of getting Fiona. Keep up the good work with the hate. @jonahwhale9047
@jonahwhale9047 The UK has one of the finest and longest-established Coastguard services in the world. In fact, a TV documentary series on the work they do has just finished showing. The Coastguard are reported as having said that with access to food, water and not being in any imminent danger or having any obvious health problems, there was no urgency in organising or risking rescue for an otherwise perfectly sound farm animal. I don't know what the SSPCA response was, but they might have had the same approach.
"deserves sanctuary, not to be turned into a spectacle. "
And here you are, creating a spectacle.
If you had any interest in the welfare of this animal, this video and the accompanying petition would not exist.
Both have been created to bring attention to yourselves
As it turns out, these people are talking absolute rubbish. Their noses are put out because Fiona is safe in the care of the right people to look after her.
@jonahwhale9047the kids hth
What is wrong with you people? Why the hatred for the farmer? He has been desperate to rescue her. And what's wrong with knowing Royalty? Why put that in? And why disrespect the farmer's wishes about which day to do the rescue? And what is the problem with a petting zoo? This sheep enjoys human company. And what is wrong with making money? You need to live, don't you? You guys all need to apologize multiple times for your arrogant superior attitudes and disrespect.
Fiona is going to the right place for her to be looked after. The Dalscone farm family care and love their animals very much. We wouldn't follow their live streams every day if they didn't care. They have already said she will remain with them for the rest of her life.
Where are all the animals they "raise"?
@jonahwhale9047you keep copy/pasting this same reply and yet provide no proof what you’re saying is even true
Seeing these people's disappointment at not being able to be the ones who got credit for the rescue lit up my day. They are being absolutely ridiculous. The sheep is now in a very good place for a sheep.
@jonahwhale9047 Wtf is a "proper sanctuary" for sheep!? It's a sheep. It's a domesticated farm animal! It's a genetic freak designed by humans that can't survive properly without humans. You think roads bother sheep!? Come on!
I think it's more that they were lied to, which is modus operandi in all of those in industries where animals are used for profit, and that now the sheep will be displayed as a freak, which is obviously better than having her throat slit, but not as lovely as a sanctuary run by the people who took the time and care to earn her trust. Can you fathom it now?
Well done The farmers who rescued her. Thankfully these clowns had nothing to do with it.
What was the snide conment about royalty about? What could that possibly have to do with this? Sounds like the farmer found the right team of experts. This video seems disingenuous.
I think someones ego has been hurt that well experienced, caring, equipped people where able to rescue the sheep before you where. Having been to dalscone yearly over the past 10 years I can confidently say that they always have the animals best interests at heart and go above and beyond for them. The farm is closed over winter so the sheep won't be around any humans other than those who will provide care for her.. When the farm is reopened the sheep will only be exposed to humans if they so wish to be.. She will out live her life there in the most caring, nuturing environment. You claim to be animal lovers yet currently protesting outside a farm causing distress to all involved. Disgusting!
They seem more upset that they didn’t get to rescue her first rather than being overjoyed that she was safely rescued.
Dalscone would never harm or exploit any animal. We know that Fiona will be well cared for and loved. These activists should do some research before hurling accusations and flat out lying. Maybe they should follow Gina’s story, or Miracle’s story, even Honey. The farmers at Dalscone spare no expense for their animals. They are never abused or neglected. They are never sent to slaughter. They are all always well cared for and loved. You’re right, it is downright disgusting!!!
Exactly right.
Go home and leave these kind rescuers alone! Crazies!
The family that owns Dalscone will give this very special sheep a wonderful home and she will never be lonely again. You should not give negative comments about this farm without learning about it first. There are people from all over the world who follow the Facebook page just to be uplifted by watching these wonderful people care for their animals and the huge following of people on their Facebook page who are amazed by their love for every living creature on their farm. ❤
@jonahwhale9047 you don’t alf talk some shite you
Dalscone has just spent thousands of pounds fixing the leg of one of their sheep instead of putting it to sleep as other farmers would. They searched high and low for a surgeon to help her and put a plate in to stabilise her leg. This new sheep would spend her days in the field eating grass with other sheep and getting the best of care. All of their animals are loved, respected and well cared for. These protesters need to have their facts straight before spreading lies. Dalscones farmers are some of the kindest people you will find. My next life, I want to come back as one of their animals. Also, the sheep, goats and donkeys are separated from the public and only approach the fences if they want to. If they don't want to interest with humans, they don't have to.
Couldn't agree more!!! Dalscone is the very best place Fiona could be going with acres and acres of green fields, knowledgeable and caring Farmers who always go above and beyond for ALL the animals in their care. ❤❤
"A farmer is a person engaged in agriculture, raising living organisms for food or raw materials" These people are "raising" animals. Where are they all?
@@EarthPoets they have rare breed sheep. The wool is worth nothing. They are sheared for their comfort. They don't send to slaughter.
@EarthPoets Dalscones animals are all in their fields enjoying being the animal they are. Some do have to be moved on but they go to other knowledgeable pet homes or farms with the same philosophy as Dalscone they are NEVER sold on for profit or slaughter.
@@meganlawson4575 They sell allpaca wool and they are breeding other animals too. Where are all the animals? This is an animal exploitation farm, not a sanctuary. Why would you not want Fiona to go to a real sanctuary?
You are so right. She does not want to be a "celebrity" she just wants to live out her life as a normal sheep. She has survived alone for a long time. We lived in the NW Highlands of Scotland for 15 years and life for both humans and animals can be tough, especially in the winter. We rescued a "redundant" border collie destined for a bullet who had been kept in a shed for 4 years and a "nobody's cat" when we lived up there. It took much patience to help them live good lives. The cat sort of ruled over the dog at times but on the whole they got on okay with each other. One day our lovely dog died and we were heartbroken. The next day, my husband and I went for our usual walk minus our beloved dog. The cat for the first time in his life followed us wherever we went as if to say, "I'm here for you now!"
Do not sign the petition. There is no reason to give people with control issues access to an animal when they refuse to ignore the quality of care this animal is receiving. They lie and do everything they can in order to gain control which is a form of abuse. Interrupting the safety and care of an animal because their ego refuses to allow them to believe anyone else can care for an animal if it's not in their care is dangerous and wrong.
Fiona is going to a great place that really care about their animals. I'm so glad a team of experts got together & got her rescued & not this bunch of attention seeking so called animal rights advocates who know nothing about the real world of caring for animals.
Shame on you for calling Dalscone out this way and say shes gonna be used for Dalscone profit. THESE words say ALL about you. Digusting !
She has been rescued by the right and very experienced people who understand sheep and dedicate their lives to them. She is going to the best place. Your ridiculous comments about exploitation is ridiculous. Awareness and education and care is what those people dedicate their life to. These rescuers are well known, respected and experienced in the rural and animal world.
I am concerned by some news of inappropriate fundraising…. Not by them….. I’m sure we will hear more about that soon.
Those nylon ropes and knots were insufficient, they mean well but we're talking micky mouse operation. In fact, they ain't even Betty boo!
@jonahwhale9047 it slippy blue nylon rope, I live on a boat. The stuff is notorious for comming undone, we used some very briefly. This is not the right gear, they wer waiting for experts and experts came and got her.
Likely they would have slowed the process with the best of intentions.
Same as them causing mayhem on that farm recently.
They slowed her getting in and settled.
@jonahwhale9047 check the video, she was nibbling grass as they took her up. In animal care (I studied for 2 years) it advises you to cover the animals eyes so you don't scare them. Ugh I've not got the energy to deal with you, likely one of the scorned rescue party.
She went to the Best farm in the world!! Dalscone Farm. She's being loved and well taken care of!!
You couldn't get a better sanctuary than dalscone!
It's not a sanctuary, it's a prison. They breed animals to profit from their death and serve up animal body parts to the visitors in their cafe.
Thankfully she has been rescued by experts that know what they are doing.
She was taken by the farmer for fame and profit.
Hardly. The farmer wants to remain anonymous. This over dramatic vegan group would've milked it something serious if theyd reacued her. Shes with people who know and understand livestock.
Aye mate, their ropework and that blue nylon rope was a deathtrap. Sheep are handled regularly from birth, they understand human touch. These folk mean well but I'd not trust them not to drop a bollock.
@@dawnadriennetaylor970no she wasn’t 😂 that farm look after their animals with complete love so away and focus ur hate elsewhere 🥱
@@dawnadriennetaylor970not true. Find out the real facts first instead of repeating this rubbish.
Rescued by the right people (not these clowns)
So sad to see that your post about this sheep has potentially lost her a great home and you’re creating nothing but distress for her now.
You did an amazing thing highlighting her plight, you encouraged to be fair some genuinely nice and mad ‘idiots’ who risked themselves to rescue her so you WON YOU GOT HER RESCUED!!
But this grab for attention under the guise of animal welfare is the opposite. It’s incredibly sad to see. If you genuinely want to see it through to the end why don’t you ask to visit and to see what sort of life she’ll have ahead of her rather than just assuming she’ll be used and abused??
And whilst your at it say THANK YOU to those farming community ‘idiots’ because they did what you couldn’t.
If anyone is thinking of protesting based on this ‘urgent’ plea, please don’t would be incredibly sad if she lost this home where anyone can see for themselves how she’s doing in future.
@jonahwhale9047explain how those things are bad, mayb
That’s what they want. They want her so they can profit
Have you made any money from this RUclips video? The rescuers are proper people able to conduct a rescue which you were not. The Hoof GP and his mates are real animal lovers and they know what they are doing.
Exactly. They are highly respected
If you know anything about Dalscone you would be thrilled that the sheep is going there. It is the most caring wonderful place for all animals.
@netleyros Where are all the animals they have been raising?
@@EarthPoets most are still on the farm or have been sold to farms that are non food chain related.
@@EarthPoets some go to people who also want pets.
@@netleyros So they are breeding farm animals to sell to others and you are happy with that? Have you ever considered if it would be best if the animals weren't bred in the first place?
@netleyros without breeding there would be no animals.
I live no far from Dalscone and animals here have a good life it's not a circus it's a farm.Fiona will have a good life.
the appropirate professionals rescued her, those farmers have years of experience and knowledge and will give that sheep its healthiest fullest life in a normal agricultural enviroment.
This sheep cannot be going to a better home. I support and subscribe to Dalscone and that sheep will be loved and cared for like royalty. I watch this farm daily and have visited many times, best farm around.
A farm for entertainment with a bouncy castle etc. This is not how children (or ignorant adults) should learn what an animal is.
@DebbiePhilp-mj4pd It's a farm not a sanctuary. What do they "farm" and where does what they farm end up?
@EarthPoets they have rare breeds, the educate children and adults on animal husbandry, they care for and love each and every animal they have. None of their animals ever go to slaughter and those that are rehomed are rehomed to loving pet homes or other farms who share the same philosophy as Dalscone. No animal is exploited or abused at Dalscone. They are watched and cared for around the clock, there are vets on call, a farrier on call, knowledgeable staff who have the animals welfare at the top of their priorities. They go above and beyond for every animal there from the smallest insect to the biggest of their cows.
@@EarthPoets👈🤡
@@naomimcewan9744 I've read the same PR from about 6 different ppl. Still I guess with so much £ to be made by them from this poor sheep it's no surprise.
End of the day, she’s a sheep and belongs on a farm with a flock. I think you guys are only pissed because you didn’t get the publicity for ‘rescuing’ her! If you prioritised the animals welfare over your need for publicity and feeling of ownership of her, you’d be happy she was rescued by professionals that know how to look after a sheep! It’s embarrassing really 🐑
The place where she is going is owned and run by such loving people. She will not be exploited by them. She will be cared for and loved for the rest of her life. You cannot make a judgement call about her rescue without knowing anything about the people who will be caring for her. I have followed Dalscone Farms for over a year and have never seen anything other then caring concern for their charges. Don't be so quick to judge if you do not know these people.
PR videos aren't going to show you anything negative. It's a petting zoo "with outdoor trampolines, a big bouncy castle, sandpit... If your (sic) visiting us be sure to say hello to all of our beautiful animals on the Farm! They will be super excited to meet you and you can even feed them some tasty treats! Our animals are world famous due to the popularity of Dalscone Facebook Live videos which have over 30 million views!" That's a lot of revenue.
@@dawnadriennetaylor970 dude folk who copy and paste the same tripe in a comment section are known as asshats.
Penned in ?....the farm is closed throughout the winter. There was a nice cosy enclosure for her ready so she could settle in quietly and be introduced to other sheep slowly to make sure she was comfortable with them. Then she had acres of feilds to go to with the rest of the herd. These farmers love their animals. Nothing is hidden they have cameras everywhere that are available to anyone to watch the animals 24/7...and might i add these cameras have saved quite a few of these animals lives when it comes to lambing season. And these" PR videos" you mention actually help the animals. If any of them fall sick or need medical attention these farmers make sure they get what they need no matter of the cost with the help of these videos. You should be ashamed of yourselfs..if you loved the animal as much as you say you would be pleased she was going there or atleast talk to the farmers and and do some research before bad mouthing them.
@@michellebrown8742 Can you hear yourself? "These farmers love their animals" & "when it comes to lambing season" . Where are all the lambs from the past 5 years? Where are the sheep who can no longer produce lambs? Have you been keeping count?
@micheleberlepsch3424 "caring concern for their charges" They exploit animals for money. They grow all sorts of animals. Where are they all?
These ppl did not save her. The farmer got ahold of help after multiple agencies said it was to dangerous. A few farmers, a climber, and a hoof trimmer saved her and named her Fiona. She is now safe at a family farm.
Fiona was named because of 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.
If you thought this video would bring attention to your organization, Animal Rising, you are absolutely right. But the attention it has brought is mostly negative. If I see this logo again, I may turn a blind eye to whatever you have to say since even after Fiona was rescued you weren't happy. The money that will be donated because of this rescue (and fleece shorn) will go to two worthy charities, SSPCA and RSABI. Be happy
You obviously have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Research before putting out these damaging assumptions! You are putting her at risk by carrying on. Dalscone is not a petting park ..... It is so much more. Shame on you.
I hope they have watched Fiona on the available videos and seen how happy Fiona
Fiona will live wonderfully at Dalscone!
After being in solitude in wide open green spaces to being in an enclosure to be fed for entertainment by masses of people passing through the gaudy circus environment.
@@dawnadriennetaylor970 have you seen the farm? Dude she's not on a dinner plate, that's a win. Animals are resilient, for more than most people.
@@dawnadriennetaylor970 there sheep graze in the fields. The park is now shut until April, so she has time to adjust. Once she has made some friends, she will live out her life in a herd on the fields.
Fiona will be perfectly cared for in fields with other sheep. Not to make money or for slaughter. Let her live her best life in green fields where she can be loved, fed and warm. Shame on those trying to block this rescue learn your facts.
@@Harleys-Horses86 Are all the other sheep rescues or are they "raising" sheep? And why are you so against her going to the sanctuary?
I suggest that you look at Dalscone & you will realise what a wonderful home Fiona will have. The Best family are totally devoted to all the animal at the farm. & their welfare is comes first.
I'd never heard of it but have just looked at the gaudy, brightly coloured website that looks nothing like a sanctuary i.e. retreat but an entertainment centre where the animals are enclosed in small areas. Sanctuary = a retreat not a circus. What an inappropriate environment, especially for this particular sheep who's been isolated and left for 2 years by the farmer.
Someone (you) sounds a bit bitter. Shame on you. Think of the sheep not yourself
@@dawnadriennetaylor970 the sheep run in large paddocks. They come in if they are injured or sick. Otherwise they have a chill life. The fun park is separate and the public can see and get excited about animals and.wanting to protect them. The goats sheep and donkeys choose I'd they interact with humans. Donkeys are brought in if it rains but are generally in the paddocks. The goats lose condition in the paddock and do better indoor where it's warm
@@meganlawson4575 Why are they breeding animals?
@@EarthPoets they are breeding rare sheep breeds. Don't those animals have a right to existence and not extinction? Also people have a right to make a living and feed their families. These are not bred as meat animals.
I absolutely love and admire all of you at Animal Rising
Dalscone is not a petting zoo, it is a farm where animals are loved and respected.
It is precisely what Dalscone says it is.
@@dawnadriennetaylor970 They grow animals for money, there is neither love nor respect involved, just greed.
Yay I’m going to visit loneliest sheep and pet her silly :)
She was rescued and your throwing a temper tantrum?
Is it any wonder that the farmer preferred to have actual sheep farmers rescue Fiona, rather than actvists who spend their energy maligning farmers?? And speaking of exploitation, how much is this video going to make your organization in fundraising dollars? Had you truly cared about exploitation, you never would have made this video. And let's be real here. Fiona is a domestic sheep, not a wild animal. She's a herd animal and every instinct in her makes her feel safer in a herd.
@jonahwhale9047do you have a problem with kids?
I'm very glad Fiona has been rescued by professionals and not by these clowns who just wanted to score some more views. Now Fiona can live a peaceful life at Dalscone where she will receive the right and certified care. If these ''activists'' would have ''rescued'' her, who knows what kind of treatment she would have received.
@jonahwhale9047 the first 5 months she will live in silence, since the farm will be closed during the winter. In April they will open again.
@jonahwhale9047 her rehab has started in silence with others animals around her - she will move into a larger space with a few friends and soon move to a flock that public do not have access to -
I understand the place they intended sending her to also runs petting session ie Eloise the lamb … is this free
As far as your diet is concerned that’s your business … no one else’s and you do not have the right to question others
Oh last question were you one of the protester who terrified the life out of the farmers wife and his family ??? Shame on them for causing this anguish
she was so happy to have the company! On the way out - while she was wrapped in a bag most would be in a state of panic but not Fiona, she started grazing on grass - just relaxed and content. What a trooper. She will be fine.
Why would the farmer slaughter a healthy young ewe? He's been trying to rescue her but the SPCA did not have the right equipment and he deemed it too dangerous to try to go down himself. You are trying to damage the reputation of someone who doesn't deserve it.
basically, when you read about a sheep having a "gentle soul", and not seeing a sheep as an animal that has different feelings and reactions that humans. I would trust the people that did rescue Fiona, as they work with sheep and other farm animals every single day. They have to read the emotions of the animal, for REAL, not as they want the animal to feel. Also, what was wrong, all along, was that people were making this rescue into TOO MUCH OF A BIG DEAL. The rescue people knew enough about sheep to think of a much easier and less stressful way to get Fiona out quickly. Leave her wool ON, and let it protect her going UP. TO tie her down to a sledge would cause panic. But putting her inside a basic bag where she had some movement and her wooly coat to protect her... she is actually eating grass when they rescuers paused. The fewer people involved the better, how big was the group of "professionals" going to be? How much noise bringing them all in. How much consultation? Everyone would have their opinion. In this case, these people that know farm animals KNEW fast is best. A SLEDGE? are you crazy? A sheep is not a human being. Any animal in a rescue needs some sense of control (with being able to move legs a bit) and to not see what is going on. Let's strap the sheep to a sledge like we do people rescue. I'm sorry but a lot of people coming to LOOK at the sheep, won't bother the sheep. If the petting zoo does it correctly, they'll see if Fiona is ready to join a flock and if not she can choose her own future. I know this is more anti petting zoo, and also "Wait, someone looked at our plans and felt uncomfortable???" Your anthropomorphize version of Fiona would only endanger her. I bet people would have been "Oh it's going to be all better soon Fiona, we don't mean to hurt you, you will be fine" talking to her during the entire rescue (animal experts can tell you WHY YOUR STRANGE VOICE speaking close to her head would freak her out as she was being pulled up). SIMPLE IS BEST WITH ANIMALS. SHEEP AS CHANGED BY HUMANS INTO FARM ANIMALS ARE VERY SENSITIVE, and Temple Grandin would tell you the quick version with as few people as possible, was the BEST.
You all are shameful, Dalscone Farm is more than a petting zoo. Do your homework before slandering the Best family and their true intentions, giving Fiona a fantastic forever home!!!
Do not sign this petition! Fiona is doing just fine.
Hey Animal Rising, while you are flying drones over Dalscone , make sure you show your followers pictures of their happy sheep in the fields, instead of spreading and encouraging lies and harassing animal lovers like Dalscone. Being extremely radical doesnt make you right or make you do whats best for the animal. Be transparent with your followers instead of lying to brainwash them to do your bidding. I hope Dalscone sues for slander. They are caring, ethical people carrying out a business to feed their families. I understand most of tou are probably unemployed, but people so have a right to make money.
Dalscone Farm IS NOT a petting zoo They are farmers who care a
and love their animals
She will be loved and will not be exploited in any way
She will be exploited just like all the others are. And when she's old and no longer bringing in £'s?
have you looked at their web site? it's a noisy vulgar theme park for kids. Then there's the video with people crowding around an indoor pen while a man with a megaphone is yelling information about baby goats while holding one up for everyone to see. That is exploitation.
This was a shameful video, they seem pissed that they didn’t get her!
You liars. She is fine.
Fiona is alone no more, you should be happy for her new conditions. Seems you guys failed to rescue Fiona and now feel a tad embittered that others got to her first. Maybe you should calm down and let her be, she is fine. You value the contact between human and animal enough to have spent a few days building a rapore with Fiona before considering pulling her up, therefore, you must appreciate that others can also build a rapore with her?. Let it be and show your happiness that Fiona is well, loved and cared for. Better friends than enemies.
Sounds like you had the chance to rescue her multiple times but YOU DIDNT. YOU wanted to "Establish Trust" which sorry to break it to you, wasn't for her sake it was for yours. You wanted to feel good about yourself and pat yourselves on the back. That poor sheep didn't need "Trust" or its "Faith in Humanity" restored. IT NEEDED TO BE RESCUED. Now someone else did it and you have to make them the bad guys so you can still be the heroes.
Places like Dalscone help kids have a better attitude towards animals. Not every family can keep pets, so visiting places like Dalsone helps young people appreciate animals more. The animals are well looked after there.
The arrogance of these people ! Three cheers for the farmers
Hip hip hooray x3
Cheering ppl who breed animals to exploit them for £, does not show you in the best light.
@@EarthPoets what exactly is your vision for our upland rural areas? What is it you want to see? No sheep, no farmers, no communities..is that what you want ? What is your vision? The ewes round here live 8 to 12 years and are cared for all their lives. If people ate more mutton the ram lambs would live longer too. We have sheep cos of farming. You can't grow food crops on the uplands and rewilding involves herbivores and meat. We understand you mean well but you don't speak for any us.
@@janevaughangronow9786 I don't think that terrain is a good enough argument for killing sentient beings who do not want to die. I suspect there are many things you are against that you wouldn't necessarily have a total solution for, but that doesn't stop you calling them out for the crimes they are. Animal farmers will be seen by all as worse than slave owners in the not too distant future. With the climate crisis, the power dynamic is shifting even more quickly.
@EarthPoets I do love a fairy tale 😂
Dalscone Farm will take the best care of Fiona. your so wrong about Dalscone I can't believe my ears. She will have so much love and care get away from the farm and leave this lovely family alone. Maybe you all should update your information about Dalscone before thinking the way you's have what a sin #letFionacomehome
Humanity can be excellent man, crazy things we are! Its a shame this team didnt get the glory but this sheep is off to live with other sheep in a sanctuary.
Celebrate for her! Also, ive worked on farms and sheep are well used to being handled.
Recon thats why farmer let a more fast moving team in as it was better to shift her faster.
The farmer had two years to rescue her but did f**k all - he only "shifted her faster" when another team got off their asses and came up with a plan.
The farmer did nothing for 2 years until he realised there was global interest and profit to be made. That sheep was not used to being handled so it's not the same as your experience. This team clearly aren't about "glory" but wanted to place the sheep in a quiet sanctuary instead of a petting zoo where people go to feed the animals in a small enclosure for entertainment.
@@dawnadriennetaylor970 the majority of sanctuarys tend to have public visiting as a way to fund the program.
It has been hanled in the past and would understand human touch as on a farm we treat them and shear them regularly.
I hate to say it but with the best of intentions this load of woke muppets don't have a clue about farm animal husbandry quite clearly.
The sheep has evaded the dinner plate and continuing to leave it isolated whilst they try to slowly befriend it was a mental plan.
Also I'm a boater and their climbing equipment and knotwork was utterly useless, they would likely have needed rescue themselfs.
This group did nothing for 2 years until it was on the news. She's going to acres of green fields
@@el631 She's going to be a performer in a side show run by ppl who make £ from exploiting imprisoned animals. Why wouldn't you want her to go to a real sanctuary? Got £ interest in the project?

Thanks to Animal Rising for this video and your viewpoint makes you the only adult in the room in this forum.
And what did you do for two years to help? Hmmmm
Must have really hurt there feelings that someone else claimed the virtue sack.
While I commend your amazing efforts to help her, I do think these farmers mean well and have her best interests at heart. But you guys did an amazing thing and you should be proud. I think your presence enabled her to trust the farmers, so you helped save her. Keep up the good work. You should be proud. ❤
Keeping their meaningless criticism to themselves would help as well
Not terrorising the farmers family and home would go a long way !!!
All you’ve done here is lost support
I was hoping to find out more about her rescue but instead of talking about it you simply look mad someone else did in one go what you failed in three… and now Fiona’s forever home is getting harassed by people who follow you. It really seems like your egos were bruised and you don’t actually care about her well-being.
The fact you’ve made a video and posted it on RUclips 😂 and you have the nerve to say the farmer is doing it for money. Farmers have fed you and your families for generations gone by and you have no respect for them at all. They are the heart beat of our nation who are always there providing and always will do. I don’t even know if you’re vegan but I’d put money on you are. World has gone mad
The irony of some of these comments is hilarious. The ones who are supporting the eventual outcome the most, and the ones who are pretending to care the most, are people who actually eat sheep, and wear wool. Yeah, makes complete sense listening to any of you hypocrites.. 😂
Omg are you guys for real!!!! Fiona was rescued by the best possible people, people who know what they are doing, it was done safely and carefully, she was then immediately checked over by SSPCA vets and is now being cared for, she is going to live out her best possible life with the most amazing farmers who give 100% care and attention to everyone of their animals.
You guys dont have a clue about sanctuaries and to say you do is just wrong, ive worked for sanctuaries thanks very much. Dalscone is 100% the right place for Fiona.
You have no say in where she was to go, the farmer who owned her did, and the amount of abuse and harassment you caused him is shameful!!!!

What a load of rubbish, she has been rescued by cammy & graham ie the sheep game & the hoof GP & has been sheared & taken to her forever home to be pampered for the rest of her life so stop the lies, honestly some people
Ironic that the 'loneliest' sheep was also the healthiest sheep down there. They should put more sheep down there
Clever sheep, waited for the professional rescuers instead of going with these idiots.
Sledge? Oh dear ...
@jonahwhale9047 The difference is that mountain rescue teams are well trained and experienced. I wouldn't trust these hippie vegan activist troublemakers with cleaning a rabbit hutch.
@jonahwhale9047 It's not the method but the experience level of the rescuers that counts.
@jonahwhale9047 Irrelevant. They know when a sheep is stressed or not stressed, or at risk of injury or not. Cammy is a professional shearer and saw that Fiona was 'wrapped in a mattress' by her heavy fleece, as he described it. These are sheep farmers and shearers who spend their lives with sheep and understand the species inside out. Compare that with these hippy activists. They caused extra stress to Fiona by delaying her arrival at Dalscone. They stressed her new owners by staging an intimidating 'protest' on the property and had to be removed by Police. They are not responsible people. I wouldn't trust them with any animal. I don't know what damage they may have done to Fiona if they'd tried using a sledge. Are any of them experienced with mountain rescues of animals? I doubt it. And I'd be worried about any of them rescuing me. Their whole mode of operation was by rule breaking.
In the end the sheep was rescued by good people who know what there doing and not these hippies.
good people hired by the farmer who let her languish at the bottom of a cliff for two years and then sold her to a petting zoo.
oh good people who see prison as helping? let her go free i prefer the hippies
@@rachelLadyD where could she be free? she isn't a wild animal, she at least needs to be sheared regulary and for that it is best to handle her frequently so she isn't freaked out

Not true. She did not go to a petting zoo. The ppl who saved her were contacted by the farmer but volunteered to help. After multiple agency’s told the farmer it was too dangerous to try and save her.
I appreciate you effort and concern, But you don't know this Farm they treat there animals very well, they are a no kill farm and they are not a petting zoo. they will treat her like a queen please don't bring any more negative comments against them.

You people do not know what your are talking about. Why don’t you learn the facts before you say anything! Dalscone farms is a wonderful place for animals. No one is explaining animals there. Never had any animal been slaughtered there!!! Learn the real story before you cause so much trouble!!!
* The farmer, realising that he had a sheep awol 2 -3 years ago, should’ve definitely asked for outside help before it got to this. He undoubtedly thought it was one of many sheeps, and his little problem would eventually solve itself. (which it normally would)
* Thankfully for the sheep, a keen-eyed kayaking lady noticed it twice, two years apart. On this second encounter, our mariner quickly called it in.
* Then! Amazingly, now people cared about the sheep. Even people who enjoyed a bit of sheep with their mint sauce on Sunday.
* And as if by magic, this marooned hardy beast finally had company, a kind yet ideological group of people descended. They were willing to invest their time, braving the descent down the cliffs that had trapped her. They spoke to her, they fed her, even with something other than grass, they took their time to get to know this lonely soul trapped on the edge of an ever-shrinking British Isles.
*But then the farmer started to get pissed off with all these sheep-whispering out-of-towners interfering with their crazy ideas.
*So he waited and waited and humoured these well-wishers until some fine young men showed up, ropes in hand, to winch the stricken beauty from her cliff face.
*Which they did… AND EVERYONE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER…
*or so we’re told.
Our farmer here could have stopped this situation from becoming what it has. Growing up on my grandparent’s farm in Lancashire and witnessing my granddad’s mistreatment and often neglecting his animals as a child, there isn’t any excuse for his lack of concern in the first instance; some farmers, unfortunately, are motivated by profit. They don’t see animals as living beings that feel, and when they get caught out, they let pride get in the way, often ignoring the issue. Farmers are incredibly well-connected in their locality, their resourceful. He could have asked for help long before it got to this.
you lot are bordering on slander with some of these statements, the sheep is going to anything but a circus
somehow i am now turned off from my Sunday roast.
I don't think she is in an bad place even if the people are making money and clicks with her. But you filmed as well so for me there is not a big difference. But you were played dirty by the farmer and should get the acknowledgment for the work you did. Climbing down there and winning her trust was a good thing for the rescuers. You should have worked together.
Dalscone Farm is not "making money" on Fiona. They have set up a Fiona's Fund to go to two wonderful organizations. Dalscone incurs the cost of Fiona's care, willingly.
man said 'sheeps'. enough said
Why is this video still up. These people were misinformed. Fiona went to a lovely family farm Not a petting zoo. They love and care for their animals . They are kind and gentle people. Experts !
Fiona was/ is going to a wonderful place who love there animals like there children leave them alone to look after her... You lot would have killed yourself and the sheep..she will definitely NOT be going to slaughter....
I reckon Cammy’s got a spare five minutes to give lot a dip and shear 👍🏾 They could do with it.
How she get down there !. Might have fallen!
Virtue signalling
Dalscone is not a petting zoo. Dalscone is a working farm and a sanctuary for animals who are hand raised and orphaned ect. They are making wonderful accommodations for the sheep so she is not stressed ect. You need to mind your comments when speaking about places you have no idea about. Shame on you.
The animals you all are making judgement on, are in for the winter. The sheep u do see are in for care and attention. All the other sheep are out in acres of fields. Please do your research respectfully and not go to there place where they live and scare them all. The Best family are caring farmers with years of experience in farming agriculture and animal husbandry. Please you need to look into this more and not judge on first impressions.
Its seems no one agrees with you
