Thankfully, it has now (as of 4th November) finally been rescued and has gone for some TLC and a much overdue shear. I for one am absolutely delighted.

Someone please crowdfund a rescue mission

I feel sorry for the poor thing. Why cannot someone be kind/carinh enough, to rescue it & reunite it with other sheep. I'm sure it would be happier. Where's the concern/compassion. ? Animals like humans, are social beings.

This sheep has been rescued & gone to a wonderful farm for the rest of her life. Shes been shorn & looks amazingl..her name is Fiona ❤

Domesticated sheep need to be shorn once a year since they are unable to shed. The weight of the matted wool is going to cause it’s skin to tear and become chronically infected. Should it ever lose it’s footing and fall over sideways, chances are it won’t be able to get up again.

Fk sake the people have spoken and the sheep needs to b rescued ❤

if it was a Dog they would rescue it

Farmer was right about them being suicidal. I once nearly got hit by a ewe that just randomly jumped off a cliff above me and on another occasion, I watched a ewe walk up to a wire fence, stick her head through and then lie down, so she was choking herself and would have died if I hadn't rescued her. They're also fond of walking into bramble patches and getting their fleeces so badly tangled that they get stuck and will die without intervention, or they roll on their backs and get stuck, then die...

The sheep 🐑 would like a partner 🐏

If they were able to rescue it now, they were able to rescue it two years ago. Disgraceful that the poor creature spent so much time alone. There is just no excuse for that.

Shearing is caring

Ewe know what they should do stop being sheepish and help her!

Im so sad about this

Please update us if she is rescued. Sheep are very gregarious and she will be suffering a lot!

This is absolutely disgusting how would he like to be left there if it was a human you would find a way to get them .

Get a rescue mission going ,,it needs some friends

That sheep should be rescued, So that it can write it's autobiography titled " TWO YEARS ALONE IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS". 😂😂😂😂😂.

The fleas are roaming in that wool man

Bro i know how this sheep feels he's all alone. Im all alone. He is going to come back an awakened spirit animal and an enlightened one among his peers if he ever chooses to return.

This sheep now named Fiona was saved by 5 highlanders. Her name came from a famous sheep called Shrek. He was rescued in New Zealand 2004 and featured on the the Bondi Vet show. Shrek’s fleece weighed 27kg/59.5lbs. Shriek is the most famous, but Chris, a Canberran ram found in Canberra, Australia 2005 holds the record of sheared fleece at 41kg/90.3lbs. He likely had only weeks to live due to his wool. Other rescued fleece weights: Shaun, 2014 Merino ram Tasmania 23.5kg/51.8lbs fleece. Big Ben, 2014 Merino ewe New Zealand 28.9kg/63.7lbs fleece. Sheila, ewe 2015 Tasmania 21.8kg/50.3lbs fleece. Ewenice, ewe 2020 found in Victoria, Australia 20kg/44lbs fleece. Baarack, Merino ram 2021 Victoria, Australia 35kg/77lbs fleece. Shrekapo, Merino sheep 2022 from New Zealand with 18kg almost 40lbs of fleece. Alex, 2022 Victoria, Australia produced a 40kg/88lbs fleece.

They are herding animals they need to be around animals

If it was a illegal immigrants invaders they would rescue it. Poor thing

"Are they lonely," OMG with what's going on in the world, I dont know anymore.

FIONA IS A RECORD BREAKER!!! The last record was Australia's Chris the sheep. Who had 41 K of wool/fleece. Fiona had 90 K!! Trying to get someone to notice.

surely someone can help it

Poor Sheep, he must be so lonely 😢😢😢😢😢

It's either that or being rescued and ending up in a mutton curry.

Yes he will look after thats what the sheep is worried about 😢 his back legs in his wellies😮

He's in a safe place where he won't be eaten.

I cannot stand non-farming city folk who try to tell farmers and ranchers how to do their jobs. Yeah, it is always the ignorant that screams the loudest.

Fiona was happily rescued recently by Scottish men who love sheep and adventure can be seen on KZfaq. She was sheared and is living a good farm life in Scotland as internet viral famous.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 probably doesn't like people/sheep

Just get over there and give it a haircut.

Saying they're suicidal is a bit overdramatic, i think they get stuck, or have don't have much sence deprivation so probably dont understand the dangers they can put themselves in

To believe that they would out thr sheep to sleep instead of rescuing the sheep. Now i imagine a sheep counting sheep. 🐑🐏

The farmer making stupid facetious comments, showing that for him a sheep is just a money making thing. Sheep farmers have no emotional connections to their flocks, they don't feel rescuing one sheep is worth the effort. It's all about the money, not some cute wooly baa lamb. I've seen a dead sheep in the local field, left for days, while the rest of the flock grazes around its body. The farmer probably thinks we're all mad wanting to rescue it and sees it as a laugh.

Ewe would expected this to happen

Poor farmer they must have had an argument.

I heard it’s a Welsh sheep & it’s just trying to get as far away as possible from its Welsh lover

Just looking at it its cost is clearly way too heavy for it! It needs shearing and then kept in the warm for a few months before being let out again

Small little update: The Sheep Game and The Hoof GP two youtubers saved Fiona

GB News impressing with its accuracy, as usual.

This is such a weird thing to report on, unless everyone concerned is vegan.

That guy seems like he just doesn’t care fs

It must be going Bahhhmey

I feel like a sheep is my soul animal

It's a mission for Voldenorks and her amazing buoyancy aids. No danger of sinking in a Force 10!

Poor baby 😢

And she probably eats lamb chops.....

I hope the sheep will be rescued?😮😢

Give it some friends for flocks sake. 🙄❤️

Glad its ok😊

I thought that was Bruce Willis for a second

Emo Sheep

Well... In the end, some guys who don't only think of sheep as mutton went and saved that sheep. At least some people still have a heart and don't only think about money.

People make me laugh on here! They want this poor sheep rescued and for what? So it can end up in a slaughter house in a few weeks or months for your dinner. Bet many of you commentating aren't vegetarians, and are quite happy for millions of sheep just like this soul to end up on your plates. Absolute Hypocrites. Let it live out its life in peace on a hill, rather than in a blood filled horrific slaughter house.

Asking a sheep farmer about a sheep's wellbeing is simply absurd. A sheep farmer! Someone who makes money by breeding and selling sheep like soulless, emotionless things, which they aren't, mind you. They're among the gentlest souls imaginable out there and capable of experiencing all sorts of emotions just like us humans. Joy, happiness, sadness, fear, LONELINESS. Plus they're HERD animals. They DEPEND on company. The sheep was literally CRYING OUT FOR HELP when Jillian Turner found her. But our sheep expert here says, "I don't really worry about it's psychology." Well, that's just cruel and plain stupid. How about throwing Mr. Jones down a cliff and leaving him behind to rot there all alone for the rest of his life without any hope of ever getting rescued? Quite frankly, I wouldn't be worrying about his psychology neither. "Euthanize it or put it to sleep." No surprise this crap is coming from someone whose job requires blocking out all empathy towards the animals he exploits. Please, SAVE THE SHEEP and let her live the rest of her life free from harm in an animal sanctuary as she deserves! Her life MATTERS

didnt they c loan a sheep ??

He doesn't have any sense of happiness ,funny how people go mad over one animals welfare but don't mind thousands being massacred in foreign wars

Reminds me of GBNews KZfaq channel

At least it's not claiming universal credit and as to pay energy prices....

It looks like three years of wool growth on that sheep. It could make a good mattress.

Male newsguy sems to be laughing his ass off at the topic the whole time. Needs to get a new job.

Maybe it's not lonely. Maybe he is antisocial.😂

It's warm enough with that coat. I don't intend to getting fleeced in rescuing it though.😊

People nowadays care much more about animals than about other people around. The world will be shaken to the core. The Lord God is slow, but just.

I too think rehousing "Sheepy" or "Fiona" at Dalscone is a bad idea. 2 years of being alone is probably very traumatising, though in time got used to living a solitarily life. Indeed made the best of it as was found slightly overweight! Reintroducing Sheepy / Fiona to other sheep and also the other animals kept at Dalscone will probably be very traumatic. Maybe it was a lifestyle choice for her to have strayed from the flock and live alone? Surely the best outcome now is to make a unique set of kilts woven from the huge fleece that has just been sheared and sold to the highest bidder. But of course the biggest money-spinner, especially with Christmas coming up, is to accept the reasons farmers breed sheep. After being humanely killed and skilfully butchered then hold a lottery for the many different parts. She could end up as a special treat on many Christmas Day platters for the enjoyment of many.... and while devouring her get that special sense that you've been part of her special story. But let's not forget Charity, I suggest the eyeballs be placed in a special "Schools Raffle" where two lucky "Biology" lessons involve kids dissecting them to teach them how the eyeball actually works and how the eye evolved in all animals due to evolution. While it may be a bit early I wish you all a good festive Christmas season ... and will "Sheepy" / "Fiona" end up on your plate this Christmas?? Well if someone has the sense to adopt my special “Butcher Lottery” idea... it could be EWE!

Fund me I will rescue it today
